Author Topic: I just saw the Space Shuttle launch from my hotel  (Read 2001 times)

I saw the news as I was flipping channels on the hotel TV, and me and my dad ran out right in time to see the Discovery rocket launching miles away. It was pretty awesome, not "oh cool we'll tell it to our grandchildren one day" awesome, like "HOLY stuff THATS COOL" awesome. It was all orange, then the booster rockets unclipped off the shuttle and we saw them dropping, then the shuttle went on and on into the sky. The smoke trail it left behind was cool too, and the sun was shining all over it.

Also I'm in Florida for Spring Break. Drove down from Baltimore Maryland, stopped overnight in NC, then drove the rest of today to St. Augustine. Tomorrow we're going to Panama City, rumored to be holding mtvU this year.

Hugs and kisses,
           me :D

Damn, that sounds sweet, I wish I could have seen it.

I thought we closed our space program and now have to hitch rides from the Russians?

Or is that like next year?

No, that's just for civilians because NASA is too afraid of being sued out the ass if someone happens to die en route.

But I plan on going to see a launch sometime in my life, and hell the way technology is going, I might just be on one of those launches in my later years. A dream come true.

In november me and my family in disneyworld and some shuttle launched
I was too busy hiding from the rain to see it :(
