Beautiful work on this tribute to one of the most amazing endeavours of our time. It will be sad to see it end.
Inspiring work - very well done.
Excellent! Unfortunately, things are not looking good for the space program right now. It breaks the heart.
very well done.
Excellent scene, and tribute. Extremely well done!
Excellent!
A truly amazing image,excellent pov,and a fitting tribute to a space program that has brought us so many incredible images of our planet and beyond.
One of my dearest friends has worked at Nasa for 30 years and I know how much he will hate to see this program gone, beautiful work and tribute.
Very nice scene. Very good light and POV
Brilliant! :D
Excellent....
Fine work!!!
Superb photorealistic render, excellent terrain. 5*
Stunning render!
Wonderful image, but I am saddened that it is ending.. seems like a step backwards to me.
This is sooo good...strange to think the shuttle is on it's last year!
COOL
truly outstanding, brings a tear to the eye for the end of an era. and a good advert for Vue.
What a nice tribute! The Space Shuttle is still a remarkable feat and despite the two tragic losses, it was very successfull - it gave us many inspiring missions and among other things was the major contribution to the ISS. And while only 7 brave people went up in it each time, there have been thousands of people adding to each mission - thank you for this. There are few things as awe inspiring as a Space Shuttle ascending into space...
I think for the older generation, us, you have really touched a spot in your hearts for the men and women who have lived and passed in this truly remarkable program. A wonderful composition Ken that dos indeed bring a tear to the eye.
a gorgeous, clear render and a wonderful tribute to all the men and women, who made dreams real
Amazing!!!!
I second London224's (Don) comments. well done Ken!
WOW great realism safe landing
It's such a beautiful and fitting tribute, thank you Ken, I think you speak for all of us!
Excellent Job Ken well done
It is a shame that the person that now occupies the white house has not a clue as to what the American space program is or has represented for our country. His speech on April 15 of this year proved that. All the time, energy and money that has been wasted by the cancellation of the Constellation program is just another example of how clueless this man is. With his vague reference to exploring asteroids and no, really clear vision for NASA. I only hope that the next person in the oval office will have a plan for making the United States the leader once more in human exploration of not just LEO but finally returning the United States back to the moon where we should have been by the year 2020 and than on to Mars. His short sightedness on this will have grave consequences for our future. David
It has been an amazing journey. This is a fine tribute. CC
