One of the advantages of living on the East coast of FLorida is being able to view our shuttle launches either from the beach or even from our own backyards. I still get goose bumps whenever I see one lift off. Unfortunately I have yet to get a good shot of a nighttime launch with my own camera, so I borrowed this one from NASA's website. What was amazing was a simultaneous (almost) full moon. It was quite a sight on November 15, 2008 at 7:55 p.m. EST. The fire in the sky, the amazing rolling thunder-like sound, and the faint tremor of the earth is truly stimulating both mentally and physically. WOW!
Sensational Shuttle

Cool pic! I still remember watching a night launch while visiting you in November 2000, I believe it was. It was an adventure that a lot of people never get to experience. What a rush!!
