Seen any launches?
« on: October 13, 2007, 03:18:57 AM »
Just wondering if you have seen any launches and if so, which ones?

I was lucky enough to see the recent STS-117 launch. It was incredible

None so far, but I'd love to see one before the shuttle program is canceled...
Anyone in the neighborhood who's willing to invite me?? ;)
Just kidding, being a student, I don't really have to money to fly transatlantic :(

I booked to see STS-114, but the mission was delayed. So we got to see Discovery on the pad, within the RSS enclosed around the shuttle. We were about half a mile away. BTW, it launch on my Birthday.
