I don't care where it came from, it's still a great picture.
The stunning video and photography gained by the high altitude flying WB-57s during shuttle launches may soon be a thing of the past, as NASA evaluated whether to cancel the use of the two aircraft.

Known as WAVE (WB-57 Ascent Video Experiment), the ability to have the additional resource of unique ascent - and to a point, re-entry - photographic capability was debated during Thursday's PRCB (Program Requirements Control Board) meeting in Houston, in a cost over benefit evaluation.


Sure it's expensive, but how else are you going to get pictures like this? I think the PR would be worth it, if they played their cards (pictures) right.
