There was a launch a few minutes ago. Here's what it looked like from my front yard.

Or is it a sign of the pending economy?

One can only wonder what sitting on top of that fireball feels like.

Those shuttle launchs are awesome. I was down at NASA in 2002 for the STS-12 launch and it was delayed a few days but I was leaving the next day so I missed it.....DAMN!

One of the ships I was on was at Port Canaveral during a launch. Very impressive up close.

I was in downtown Tampa several years ago. The company I worked for has about a 14 story building there and I was able to watch one of the launches. About the only thing I remember seeing was a plume of smoke like in Crash's picture. Tampa is too far away to even see the fireball. At least I don't remember it. But it was still pretty cool.
