Just watched the shuttle take off. In less than 8 minutes it was at 14,000 MPH.
Love to go for a ride!

I'm still watching it.
I wanted to be an astronaut (Shuttle Pilot to be exact) for 17 years of my life.

Now.....I detail cars.

The irony....

My Taurus can beat that.....

Yeah they are quite amazing. I think it was last Sunday I was at the beach for a bonfire and I could see what looked like a shuttle launch over the water. Turns out it was a rocket that was shot off in Central California. Pretty cool to see it launch over the water, and when those afterburners kicked in, that was coooool!!

I used to live at Cocoa Beach. My aunt worked for Lockheed and my uncle for the Port Authority. I watched over 15 launches there at the "clock" including the Challenger disaster.
Night lauches were in a whole league of their own!
