About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — The vulture in the foreground may have been startled to flight by the roar of space shuttle Discovery, in the background, as it hurtles into space atop a column of fire. Discovery is headed to the International Space Station on mission STS-120. Beyond the billows of smoke is the Atlantic Ocean. Liftoff was on time at 11:38:19 a.m. EDT. Discovery carries the Italian-built U.S. Node 2, called Harmony.
