Here's a few more from today's launch.
That sure is a lot of power coming coming off the launch pad.
The driver must've been texting because he didn't keep it very straight
The crowd was huge and spread down the block and across the street.
It's funny because at first the crowd is quiet with a " come on you can do it " feel
and then as it clears the pad they gasp in awe and once it's up there the cheering and clapping starts.
When the sound wave hits everyone goes wild
I was only using a 200 mm lens so this is zoomed in and cropped to the max but at least you can see the fuel tanks.
In a matter of seconds the shuttle is almost out of sight.
All that's left is the trail it left behind and a lone Osprey that could care less.
It was so crowded people waded out in the water to get a prime viewing spot.
You can see the launch mound behind the pier to get a perspective as to the viewing distance.
