Did anyone see the shuttle launch? It was beautiful! We watched it from our backyard, and man the whole sky lit up. I had to tell Aidan that it was Rocket from The Little Einstiens blasting off into space. He just kept saying there it is mama, there it is!

We couldn't see it from the SW coast, too many clouds Frowner

I remember seeing it clearly from Gainesville many times and it is so cool to watch!

The video capture card I ordered for my desktop arrived today- I got great video off NASA TV.

Of course, it takes a huge amount of space on the hard drive, but this was a mighty purty launch.

Oh I wish we would have seen that! I'm sure it was beautiful. I'd love to go see a launch at the space center. That would be so much fun!
