    Did anyone see the launch from the Eastern shore tonight (now Sept. 7)? We went down to the shop and watched it. I could not believe how bright it was and got a really good show where we were. Cool stuff. That thing caught another gear and was gone Jack!CF

    I meant to look but was busy and forgot. My wife came home from the hospital this afternoon. I did get to watch a shuttle launch once while I was in Hernando Beach, Fla. Very impressive!

    I bet that was something Bill. I imagine a whole lot bigger than the missile they shot off last night but it was cool. Could see the fire tailing off the boosters way down here.CF

    Yep, went to the top of a nearby overpass and had a clear view of it. It probably wasn't as big, or bright here in Williamston as from where you are, but it was impressive. That was the first time that I have ever seen one go up.

    Never look down on someone unless you're helping them up.

    It was pretty cool. I hope they send more up from there.CF
