It was a beautiful launch tonight. and great weather. There was a ripple effect when it went through the second layer of clouds. looked like someone dropped a pebble in a pond.
I saw that and was wondering what that was. I took my wife out to a local golf course so we could see. Hell of a show - even from this side of the state.
There are some more interesting things you can do on a golf course at night than watch a space shuttle launch...
Not that I've ever done anything other than play golf on a golf course...
I've never seen one live. Dang i wish i knew there was one tonight. When I was 10, my family and I took a trip to Disney World and on the way we spent the night near Cape Canaveral to watch a launch but they scrubbed the mission at the last second. I was so bummed! Thats what i was looking forward to. The trip Disney World was dumb for me seeing as it was more a trip from my 8 year old sister and 5 year old brother. Oh well i'm sure i'll get to see one some day, unless they get rid of the shuttle program for something new.
The 19th hole?
nope.. there's 10 more launches coming up!That's too bad. You do need to see one sooner then later. I guess tonights was one of the last ones.
Someone was saying it was the last night launch? It was the first launch I've seen, the couple minutes watching it was worth the 2.5 hours driving there and 2.5 driving back. My friend was flying south from Jacksonville and saw it from 7,000'.
Anyone know how to brighten up photos in Photoshop?
Just a reminder that she's flying in about an hour.
Oh yea... I got 5 bucks that Martin is sitting on his dock with a beer in hand looking out towards the east.
