    Space Shuttle Discovery Launch - 28/08/09

    25th Birthday Launch

    This is the first launch we have ever seen, our first trip was 1998!
    Each time we have tried to see one, it's been scrubbed!

    Worth the wait, absolutely amazing sight!

    Andy we went out on earlier in the week and the takeoff was delayed and so we went out again last night to the shores of the Indian River and all I can say it was just the most fantastic sight just amazing, I had a tear in my eye.

    Love the photo's, I haven't checked my photos yet or the video.

    We came back from Rotonda early to see it at the beginning of the week when it was scrubbed.

    So we were so pleased it went up last night.
    Although to be honest we didn't expect it to due to the amount of lightening that was over that way minutes before. Obviously further away than it looked!

    Look forward to seeing your photo's Michelle.
    Totally agree, most fantastic sight, just amazing.

    Wow Thank you for the photos.
    We have been very lucky to see a day time one and that was awsome, this looks even better.

    Wow, what fantastic photos. What camera did you use, and did you have a special setting? I am only just getting used to my newe camera (Nikon D60) and it would not take anything - I must sit and read the manual when I get home! [msnembarrased]
