Growing up a stonesthrow from Johnson Space Center in Houston, I've always had a special place in my heart for all things related to the space race. French photographer Vincent Fournier has spent the last decade documenting the fact and fiction of space programs from around the world including Guiana, Russia, Kazakhstan, China, Norway and the United States. We love his incredible images capturing the sometimes tenuous relationship between man and machine, built structures and the natural landscape. Check out some of our favorite images and travel with Fournier and VBS.tv (after the jump) to NASA Kennedy Space Center in Florida in preparation for the last shuttle launch.

Not long ago, I was reading for the same issue but couldn't actually make it out. A thumbs up to this one.
