(launch the line-eater into outer space) There is a mavelous picture on the front cover of the Dec 23 issue of Aviation Week and Space Technology (aka War Weekly). It is a time exposure of the launch of Atlantis (61-B). You really get the notion that they take off more horizontally than vertically (which is what I had thought until I thought about it).
