When the official departure music flows from the public address system, members of the team on the Odyssey Launch Platform display their nation's flags and the action begins... |
|
Teammates on the pier give a cheer to their colleagues... |
|
Dr. Valery Aliev, manager of rocket operations, waves to his colleagues... |
|
And then one of the world's largest semi-submersible vessels eases out of port... in all its glory... |
|
...sailing by the Payload Processing Facility... |
|
...venturing out to the breakwater... |
|
|
...and off to the high seas.
