My shuttle video

Hi All,

Seeing the earlier post, I remembered fondly the time I saw the shuttle launched. I've posted a video to google video at

http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...254&pr=goog-sl

I was a little further away at about 15 miles (the sound from the shuttle came through about 70 secs after you saw the launch), still absolutely awe inspiring.

Cheers
Stuart

Thanks Stuart, i woke my 6 yr old daughter up this morning to watch it on nasa tv. I got goosebumps watching it.

It is so exciting listening to all the extra checks and "go" 's.

It is a definately a wish of mine to see it and feel the sound so speak.

and a little partner in crime called jess, she flew out of bed this morning at 4am to watch it. I must have been proud or excited or both, because I had to take her to school and i beat jess in telling the teachers what we had done!
