Something that has only happened a few times before and will in all likelihood never happen again.

So apparently this was Discovery’s 35th flight. Everything went nicely and they are on their way to install the Harmony module on the space station. I waited until the countdown got down to about 4 minutes and then headed downstairs and outside.
There were a lot of puffy white clouds and so we didn’t see the shuttle until it was a ways up. There was a bigger cloud that blocked our view of the solid rocket booster separation. But it was still cool. There was quite a big crowd out there. This is the first launch that has happened while I was at work.
My team lead’s wife and son drove out to jetty park last night and camped out to watch the launch today. I want to do something like that myself. Every launch I’ve seen thus far has been from here in the Orlando area. Need to get up close for one.
