Well another space shuttle launch went off without any problems.The best part about it is was able to watch it from my back yard.The kicker is we live close to 3 hours away from the Cape Carnaval and we are South.Not only can you see it you can hear it.No words can describe how cool it is too see from so far away. :cheers:

Got to go out to the space center for several launches when I was stationed there--night launches were astonishing.

What was really cool was after the boosters, you could still see the shuttle, it look like a star that was hauling ass lol.

I use to be stationed at the Cape as a controller, and when the shuttle was launch we had to clear all airspace for 100 miles of there, awesome view I had.:cheers:
