Great pictures Locutus.  I wanted to see that lift off so bad since we have the satellite dish and can get that channel but the neighbor interrupted it.   :mad: :rant:

awesome shots! What kind of camera did you use?

Those aren't mine.  They are on the STS mission page at NASA.

Many years ago, when the kids were little, I was flying with them to Naples to visit the grams. The shuttle launch had been weather delayed for several days, but the captain came on the intercom and said to look to the left because the Columbia had just launched. The kids and I crammed ourselves against the window, and suddenly the shuttle punched through the cloud cover and ascended into the sky. It seemed to go so slowly!  I still get chills thinking about that sight.

Shuttle launch is currently a go for 6:03 pm Eastern time, about 25 minutes from now.  Watch it live on the feed on the first page of this thread.

I'm truly beginning to doubt that this launch is going to take place.
Looks like I've come full circle.

Locutus

LOL!  Yep, this is the fifth try for this mission.  They're still green across the board at this time for the 6:03 launch.

Well they got it off that time.

That figures.  We decided to leave the TV off while we ate this evening and didn't see this one either.  And here we thought we'd catch all of them when we had the satellite put in... :rolleyes:

Well you should start paying attention.  There are only eight more of them left.

Check that.   There are only seven launches remaining before the fleet is retired.  3 missions for Discovery, 2 missions for Atlantis, and 2 missions for Endeavour.  I'm going to try and head up to central Florida for at least one of the remaining launches.

Hope you can get it done.  That would really be something to be there, well as there as the law allows, for one of the launches.

My uncle is retired from the USAF at Patrick AFB just south of the space center.  He can get me into the observation area 3 miles away inside the NASA gates.  For those that aren't that lucky, I would recommend Jetty Park in Titusville.
