Laser (the acronym derived from Light Amplification by Stimulated Emissions of Radiation) is a spectacular manifestation of this process. It is a source which emits a kind of light of unrivaled purity and intensity not found in any of the previously known sources of radiation. - Lasers & Non-Linear Optics, B.B. Laud.

Great shots!
The two things I've always wondered about though is, 1) the initial response to the engineer that walked into the room and said, "Hey, I know how to get it back to Florida! Let's put it on top of a plane!!" and 2) just how frickin' ballsy it must have been for the first pilot to head down the runway preparing for take off the first time.

Zee space service has been flying big things for years, google "Super Guppy" and cringe.
So when the engineer said lets use a 747, he probably got an "OK" response.
You'd have to take the delta off to get it through a train tunnel.
This was logical.
There are accounts of the pilots posted on the web, issues are banking, braking, and climbing on takeoff.
Yep, first crew had balls.
First 747 flights were release tests with a shuttle that could not orbit, named Enterprise... So not only did you get recovery, you got flight test for landings.
