Atlantis to Orbit
The launch of a space shuttle is a powerful event. Here, the Space Shuttle Atlantis lifts off, bound for the International Space Station. This massive vehicle, weighing two million kilograms, accelerates from a standstill to orbital velocity in minutes. No other species can achieve such a feat, nor could humans even a millennium ago.
