NASA launches powerful rockets. One such rocket, the Delta II, recently lofted the STARDUST mission into the nearby Solar System.STARDUST is expected to photograph Comet Wild in 2004 as it zooms by, and return interstellar dust samples to Earth in 2006. Currently, much remains unknown about the size distribution, primordial composition, and even shapes of these dust grains. Above, a side-mounted camera photographed the separation of the solid rocket boosters above the receding Earth.Nurbiroff, Robert. "April 5th, 1999." Nasa.com. .
This is a good picture for me because i like watching the launches of the rockets. It is amusing to me how far our technology has elapsed over time. I talk to my grandparents and my great grandparents and they tell me how lucky I am. I find it funny because i know i"m very lucky already and i appreciate them looking after me. They make sure i live my life to the fullest. That is why i love this picture to represent my birthday.
Children of the 70's, 80's, and 90's have seen some of the most amazing innovations of all time...think of what it must have been like for your grandparents to have used an ink pen for the first time. They only had pencils for a LONG time or a quill and an ink well.
