Liftoff!
Cool! First off, WHY do they have the camera mounted facing the rocket fire? You can't see anything...They should have it facing forward so you can see where the space shuttle is going.

Nice, that thing did LA to SF in like 5-6 minutes.
That was awesome.
Too cloudy on my coast it was a faint light .. . figures, if i would have just went to bed it would have been perfect. There are 11 more launches, I hope there is another night launch.VspyVspy wrote:

the camera is there so they can get a preliminary look at the shuttle during booster sep. one of the measures put in place to prevent another shuttle coming apart during re-entryIm_Dooomed wrote:
