hurricane Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 I just saw my first night launch of the shuttle - wow! I'm inland, just north of Orlando and the thing lit up the sky. You could even see the boosters falling away for some distance. Thanks to my DVR, I know that I would see it almost 50 miles down range before it disappeared from my view. Wow! Nothing like it... -- Hurricane -- Hurricane ______________________________________________________________________ http://piratesofthecoast.com/images/pyracy-logo1.jpg Captain of The Pyrates of the Coast Author of "Memoirs of a Buccaneer: 30 Year Before the Mast" (Published in Fall 2011) Scurrilous Rogue Stirrer of Pots Fomenter of Mutiny Bon Vivant & Roustabout Part-time Carnival Barker Certified Ex-Wife Collector Experienced Drinking Companion "I was screwed.

Red Cat Jenny Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 I live in the wrong state.... Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.... Her reputation was her livelihood. I'm a pirate, love. By nature and by choice! My inner voice sometimes has an accent! My wont? A delicious rip in time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyTarr Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 I saw my first night launch while I lived in Daytona Beach. Drove down to see it. That was the night my camera got stolen from a guy on a bike. Git up of your asses, set up those glasses I'm drinking this place dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricane Posted December 10, 2006 Author Share Posted December 10, 2006 Sorry there were no photos - I was on a dead run across the parking lot right after she launched - so I didn't have time to grab the video camera.

Crimson Blade Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Landings in the night are sometimes scary though. The loud thud shakes our entire house! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
