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.

You said it all in your last paragraph... education, research, etc... is
what it's all about.

I was in orlando a few years ago on and missed a shuttle launch by a couple
of days. Now I kick myself in the rear for not staying over.
