That looks amazing.. I wish I could see something like that live.... I stayed at Cocoa Beach over the winter, and it was really amazing, I could just imagine watching it.....

At first I was jealous of you guys who got to see it.

Now I'm just jealous of the astronauts :cool:.

I might have to put that on a list of top 10 things to do -
watch a launch from the beach. Different ways of thinking of infinity - the ocean waves, the grains of sand, space - that would be very cool.

watched from my house, after a little while the upper winds distorted the lighter colored part at the top, it was quite beautiful actually

I saw it from my plane flying home (I think we were over Georgia by then).
It was really cool to see.

Team 25 got back from Universal and pulled into the parking lot with 2 minutes to launch. We all hauled out into the middle of a vacant lot just in time to watch the launch with awe and applause.

It was the crowning memory of a great trip.

In Jersey when we see stuff going up into the sky it usually means something has exploded....

WC :cool:

When I first glanced at the picture, it scared me for a bit because I thought the shuttle had 180'd itself and exploded... But after a careful look, indeed, a beautiful launch :)

That must be awesome to see in person. I remember in 2002 (or 2001?) at World Championships in Epcot we were able to see the shuttle from the Einstein Field stands during the competition. They showed the shuttle launch on the big screen then a few seconds later you see a line of exhaust forming high in the sky. Hopefully I'm remembering this correctly! :)

Drove out to the Cape for it.... drive out was fine, but drive back was pretty absurd (waited 3 hours before even trying and it was still congested).



Ignore the ugly bloke in the front...

Yeah it's pretty awesome, my favorite was probably when it went up during one of our football games, we're in Port Saint John just south of Titusville.


To Tim, I Feel for you, traffic gets pretty bad after a shuttle launch....always lol

I was soo happy to hear that it was going to go off while I was down there! It was beautiful! It was the second launch I have ever seen, and I was glad I was there for this one. I don't think there is a picture that could capture the true beauty of it.
