I was lucky enough to head out to Cape Canaveral last Thursday to witness the launch of the NASA Osiris-Rex mission.  A good friend had some extended family involved with the mission and it was really cool listening to them talk about the elements that went into making it happen.  It was my first rocket launch so I didn’t really know what to expect photographically.  Ultimately I was too far away to capture the epic picture I had in mind but still loved this one.  To give you an idea of scale, the rocket in the picture below is 191 feet tall!

Hope you had a great weekend and enjoy the Picture of the Week!
