Yeah, that little cloud ring always looks cool at Max Q (Maximum dynamic pressure on the shuttle, which hits at Mach 1).

Technically, the caption "shuttle at the moment of sonic boom" is inaccurate. A sonic boom happens when the shockwave generated by an aircraft flying faster than sound reaches land or water, and is experienced along the aircraft's entire supersonic flight path. It should read "at the moment of breaking the sound barrier" or "at the transsonic moment." The photo looks cool, but it's hardly an "unexplained mystery" — actually it's a fairly common phenomenon:

Actually, it just transported from a parallel universe.

Actually, it just flew through the time barrier to December 6, 1941 and the Skipper of it's aircraft carrier looks like Sparticus. :p

"The Final Countdown" — great 2-hour Navy recruitment ad, stupid movie!

"I'm Spartacus!"

I thought that was the Nimitz.

I remember seeing it on TV as a kid, and thought it was an intriguing concept: Do you change history in a really big way, or do you go home and let things play out as they did? I don't really remember the specifics, though.

You say Nimitz, I say Sparticus.

Nimitz, Sparticus.

Nimitz, Sparticus.

Let's call the whole thing off. :tongue:

Before Kirk Douglas has a chance to change history by preventing the attack on Pearl Harbor, the carrier gets sucked into the same space-time vortex that sent it into the past -- and gets conveniently transported back to the present! BIG ROYAL COP-OUT!!
