CNN's had great coverage so far today. I've had it on in the background while I'm working.

I love to watch the launch. It's amazing what man is capable of when they aren't busy pissing with each other ;)

I agree!

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?

Tdog 07-01-2006 12:38 PM

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

CIVMatt 07-01-2006 12:38 PM

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.

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! :winkwink:

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

CIVMatt 07-01-2006 12:42 PM

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

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~ :Oh crap

CIVMatt 07-01-2006 12:42 PM

Cancelled, trying tomorrow

Tdog 07-01-2006 12:43 PM
