We had a great view from the car park at the restaurant on the 192 we happened to be in at the time. Clear blue skies so you could see it very clearly and the vapour trails lasted for ages.

It was our second time to be lucky enough to see a launch and it brings a lump to the throat as it's so awesome to watch it go out into the blue yonder.

Atlantis is due to return in twelve days time to Kennedy Space Center.
