5 minutes in, 10,300fps and 217 nm and all's well. |
The flawless launch was a nice touch to a spectacular 4th of July holiday.  |

Unfortunately some clouds moved in about 1/2 hour before launch so couldn't go out and watch this one from home

Re: Shuttle
I could see it, it was neat. I watched the launch on HDNet, then walked outside and could see it, wasn't expecting that but it was nice.

Re: Shuttle
I'm obsessed with the Space Program, watching the launch live would be a dream come true. Well other than being on the the Shuttle... |

Re: Shuttle
You can see it surprisingly well from the Orlando area. The night launches are very cool to watch. Thought about driving over to see it yesterday but decided not to. It really sucks to drive over, fight all the traffic and crowds just to have them scrub it.

It's not "scrubbed." Just delayed.  |

I really don't care to watch them wash that giant thing.
