As though the days aren't full enough, last Tuesday we even used the night. Six of us took off at 10:30 for the Shuttle Endeavour lift-off and drove to Titusville (about an hour and a half away and 12 miles from the launch site). We got there early enough to get a seat at the front of what became a crowd by 2:28 a.m. when the lift-off happened just like it was supposed to. We saw about the six seconds that happened before the shuttle disappeared into the clouds. However, it was spectacular--a huge light, then lift off (click on the picture for a close up), the the rumble of the take off. Yup, six seconds worth, and we went home. It was great!
