Ok. I know. Not a gadget. But still it’s a spectacular sight none the less. The word’s tallest rocket, Delta 4-Heavy lifting off from complex 37B at Cape Canaveral can be seen up close and personal in the photo above. The camera of course was unmanned of course, set off from a remote switch by Ben Cooper. While he remained safe and cozy in his little bunker more than 3 miles away, the camera was under the full wrath of this goliath as it was much, much closer. The lens didn’t survive, but at least enough of the camera did make it through to give us this rare peek at an often looked over event. Pretty insane isn’t it?
