The hubby and I went to Orlando for Easter and drove out to Titusville at 2:30am to catch the fourth last shuttle launch. What an amazing experience!! Thought I'd share the pics with you.

BTW, I can see the shuttle after it launches from my house... the sonic boom shakes the windows when it comes back for a landing.

funny that SPUNIK is posting about a shuttle launch. xDQuote, originally posted by VforVIBE Â»Sure, don't even come and see me!

Now that would be a cool photo op! We went out ot Kennedy Space Center after the launch. Very cool place. The highway coming out of KSC was jam packed after the launch. Luckily we were going in to it, so very little traffic that way! Titusville was also jam packed. I think it was even worse than getting out of the parking lot after an Ottawa Senator's NHL Game. It was all worth it though. You could feel it in the ground as it launched. The little girl in front of us with her dad turns to him and says "Thank you for bringing me to see this daddy." She was probably about 7 or 8 years old.

I've been to the KSC but didn't get to see a launch. The pics are awesome!

Awesome! I have only seen one shuttle launch and that was a very very long time ago (maybe 5 or 6 yrs old?) in CA.
