Here's a pic I shot for NASA of the VEY 1st launch in April 1981:
(excuse the junk, slides from over 25 years ago...lil moldy, damn it!:

And, a pic I shot for NASA of the 2nd launch ever of Shuttle, back in November 1981...

Cuz it isn't "scrubbed", just a lil delayed. Man, the 1st 2 launches that I shot - pics above - were delayed so much I was about to just buy a damn HOIUSE in Titusville! LOL

Could you feel the rumble when it launched?

Why do they try and launch in the Florida afternoon when the weather is the worst?

[CIVMatt]

those are cool pictures, thanks for sharing them

Every resident of florida wonders this.... no idea.. just launch before 2 and you'll always be fine.

[fitzmulti]

Could you feel the rumble when it launched?

Definitely! It's like 3 1/2 miles away from the tower to the "clock" but it was stunning. LONG lens on the shots, obviously, too!

The SOUND gets to you like 15-20 seconds later, so you see it, feel it then hear it - wild!

[CIVMatt]

Going to be cancelled.... calling it now.

[fitzmulti]

Why do they try and launch in the Florida afternoon when the weather is the worst?

LOL! It' s a little more complicated than just "push the button! They calculate when to launch based on where they have to go, and when they have to get there...

Sadly, today's was just scrubbed for the day~

[CIVMatt]

Cancelled, trying tomorrow

[Tdog]

nope, not today, try again tomarrow
