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)
You would you? You're impressed when they throw an extra pickle on your
Micky Dees hamburger.

Sorry we don't have 'Micky Dees' up here. We have enough of your crappy
burger chains already.
I left out a word and you didn't even notice. You need to eat more
carrots.

I noticed.... but trying to improve y'all is like trying to mop back the
ocean on a rising tide.
Maybe Obama will have more success.

In 1969, I stood across the river to watch Apollo 11 take off. Just
like this, it was just a tiny needle on the horizon. When it took
off, you could see the smoke and it wasnt till what seemed a long time
that suddenly there was ripples on the water and the low frequency
rumble through the earth and then the sound hit you like a wave. Kids
love this kinda stuff and are so excited about exploration it gets you
excited to be with em.
Shuttle was ok but its time for some new technology.
