Amateur video of the launch taken in Titusville, about 15 miles from the
launch site.

Listen to the excitement of the people, especially the kids and imagine
the
memories they will have. It's refreshing to see some good things and
genuine enthusiasm once in a while in this day of gloom and doom.

Note to the cynics. Please don't spoil this by complaining that we are
wasting taxpayer's money.
Programs like space exploration provides incentives for education,
research,
manufacturing and science.

The Shuttle is not made in China.

At this point, I'll be impressed when they can build real spaceship that
takes off like a plane, travels to the moon and comes back for a landing and
looks the same way as when it left. (no hugh fuel tanks to be discarded)


Surely Canada can do that now, no?
