Thanks. Awe-inspiring. My yearly chills quota in ten minutes.
Wonder what's going to happen with the space program.
It'd be a shame to stand still.
I remember watching the first shuttle launch and thinking "This thing
won't fly." Those astronauts really have the right stuff.
There should be a national day of appreciation for them. The living
and the dead.
Maybe even make it a holiday. Wouldn't bother me.

I just witnessed my first space shuttle landing. Not quite as
thrilling as a launch but still something fun to see. It all happened
so fast. I get off the cruise ship in Port Canaveral, Fl and start
driving home. I see thousands of cars/people lined up along the road
and then hear the double crack of the lander breaking the sound
barrier. I pull off the road just in time to see it fly in for a
landing at Kennedy space center. And that was it. Not even enough
time to get out the camera.
