Re: pic: Shuttle Launch March 15th

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

Re: pic: Shuttle Launch March 15th

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.

Actually, it was the launch of the 2001 Mars Odyssey mission that was shown during the 2001 Championship on the Einstein screen. It was a great view from the stands - you could watch the live video being piped in on NASA TV of the launch, then look over to the east and see the launch streak as the Delta II rocket ascended.

Maybe if we ever end up with Championships back at Disney, a lot more people will be able to see things like that.
