We were there on SATELLITE BEACH and a lot of the us Air Force men and women came to watch as we did on the beach opposite to the base and the roar when it went off was great and at last it made it ,Clear blue skys as well .[clap]

Spectacular pic Never really thought I would worry about seeing a launch before, but I am quite jealous now I see you picture

Wow, amazing shot Euan, did you take that?

If you get the chance then watch the live streaming over the internet. Not only do you get the shots from a distance like on Sky News - but you get to hear what mission control and the astronauts are saying..... and the view from the shuttle when its coming in to land is pretty impressive too.

Fab picture - we had tickets - but have been home nearly a week. Never mind - maybe next time.

We were staying at Cocoa Beach so we watched the shuttle from a bridge on the 528 it was fantastic it was definitley worth the wait the atmosphere when you are there is just so different to watching it on TV.

[msnembarrased] I didn't take the photo - just wished I had!

It is a link embedded in my post to an image from the Nasa website, I have now edited the post so if you click the image you should open up the high resolution version of this photo in a new browser window - it is a really impressive picture (I know that posting large images is discouraged, but I did then wonder about linking to large images - but then again I didn't want to get a row for pushing the envelope!).
