Steve Jurvetson's Flickr stream is always full of awe-inspiring images. Above, a photo he uploaded yesterday:

I head out to Cape Canaveral this evening for the STS-118 launch. Will bring cameras. Barbara Morgan has waited 22 years for this launch as part of the Teacher-in-Space program. Mission specialist Tracy Caldwell is also making her first spaceflight on STS-118 (Space.com) This photo shows one of our payload mascots getting some fresh air in the Black Rock Desert before her flight.
