SHUTTLE LAUNCH AT NIGHT

Well it finally got off. I would have liked to see it from Manatee Hannock up at Titusville but even from 70 miles away it was still impressive.


It turned the low clouds into sunset pink then clmbed through the upper sky to orbit. It is the third launch I have seen and the wonder is still there.





It has been seriously wet here with a convergence line setting up over the area yesterday, big boomers and 2 inches of rain was the result. The lights went out for a while but one of the advantages of being a RV is you just start the genny and the lights come back on for you.
