Pics of Discovery launch

Here are some pics I took of the launch. We were about three miles away.
VERY VERY LOUD the whole boat vibrated. This camrea was preety old so it does not convey how awsome it was. Glad I callled in sick!

We were able to see the contrail of the launch from the Gainesville Airport. Sun was in the wrong place to actually see the shuttle. Quite a few folks parked along Waldo Road, had pulled over to see the launch.

saw one years ago, its an awesome sight! Today they showed the Astronauts getting into the NASA ASTRO VAN -- Airstream Motohome. Great to see that pretty thing still in use.

I wonder how many people around the world were watching and personally willing the Shuttle up to the (relative) safety of space? I know I was!
