    Endeavour Launch (14-Nov-08)

    A couple of photos from the launch of shuttle Endeavour last night.

    The launch was spectacular ... as was the traffic on the way back home.

    Enjoy ...

    They are great photos. It is quite a magical and humbling site to see.

    On the last launch we did not make the drive and then we were thrilled to find we could watch it from the front door of the villa - not quite the same as being there though.

    We watched it on the 192! Great photos Steve, the news said there was a 10mile tailback!

    Unfortunately the cloud cover stopped us seeing it from our villa which was really disappointing.

    Great photos, Steve.

    It was spectacular to see as it was a cloudless sky at Titusville.

    But OMG the traffic coming home [msnoo]

    Fab photo's Steve, as usual [msnsmile2]

    One of the owners we know went to Indian River and recorded the launch.

    Looks awesome. The video is pretty cool!

    So wish I could have seen it!

    It was probably closer to 40 miles [msnsad] Al was driving (thanks again Al) and we crawled quite literally from Titusville all the way back to the first toll on 528 before Orlando International.

    But a great night out [msnsmile2]

    We saw it from Titusville too. Took us nearly 3 hours to get home...
