The other day at work, I was talking with one of our patients and he told me that he used to work at Nasa in their photo department. He sent me a few pictures that he had worked on over the years and I knew some folks here would appreciate them.

I'll post the picture and a description that he sent me for each.

He sent me several other powerpoint files, but they are too large to upload.
 
I'm glad you guys like them! "thumbsup"

I wish I could find a way to upload and make these ppt. presentations viewable....there is one of them prepping a shuttle for launch that is really cool! Lots of close up pictures...
