Odd, what is your shadow being cast upon? Are you standing in front of a backdrop or what?

I'm glad you were able to enjoy it. It is one of those things everyone should experience in their lifetime.

Thats a great picture. It really shows how much the sky lights up when a shuttle goes off. Glad you got to see it....and Barry is the perfect person to see it with!

I'm jealous as well, the launch was supposed to be on thursday :-( I was supposed to be able to go watch it but I planned my trip around my sisters senior play and couldn't drive up 3 hours to only drive back 3 hours 2 hours later and 3 hours back up 13 hours after that.. if anyone could follow it.

Glad the out of towners got to see it tho!

That picture turned out better than I expected. Post the other one (as an attachment) without you in it that I didn't overexpose, I'd love to have it.

We got there at about 12:30. Shuttle went off at 2:30. It was above cloud cover after 6 seconds. Stuck in traffic for an hour, took another 45 minutes to get home from the back roads. Finally fell asleep about 5:00ish.


6 Seconds is well worth it.

Nice photography Bonzack!

I hope I can see one of these in my lifetime!

I'm glad to see that you are enjoying the Sunshine State, after that lovely snow storm up at FLR. It was nice meeting you at FLR! Congrats to 191 and their alliance on a great win!

Dan and Barry -
I remember standing out in Wendymom's front yard last year watching a rocket take to the sky and leave its stream of light for what seemed forever. You two were standing there in the dark under the stars, talking and smiling and explaining things to me as we watched.

It is a very favorite memory. KoKo Ed, I'm so happy you got to see the shuttle take off. Barry, you continue to amaze me with the care and kindness you show your out-of-town visitors! A year from now, Ed will still be in awe from the experience.

Have fun you guys! Rock the house, Florida!
Jane

Are you guys doing a pigging?

Somehow OOB in airports works out. It does take some getting used to.
And don't plan on getting - any - sleep.
