Shuttle
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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCLR8TZpBeI Eisboch |

That'd show you what we can do! http://www.canadianaconnection.com/cca/canadarm.htm |

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. Dennis |

We did scratch up enough for a robot arm though. Budget. |
