we have lift off!!!

another sucessful launch. always a nervous thing when they strap a couple humans to a rocket and put them in space. if you ever have the chance to see a lift off in person it is well worth it. nothing comes close to seeing one in person and feeling the power of that thing from up to 30 miles away. that is all.

I got to see one in person years ago when one of my Father's Air Force buddies went up in the shuttle. It is absolutely amazing to see in person, and I would recomend anyone who has a chance to see it in person.

sounds like you just werent interested. its just something so different than anything else out there. if you have the oppertunity its just something you have to do. doesnt look a thing like it does on tv. and being there hearing it and feeling it is just unreal. that inital boom is insane.
