No replies? Well, space shuttles are a little bit like baseball unpiring (Why do I have to keep bringing up that subject?) . When nothing goes wrong, nobody knows who the ump is. When things are not routine, everyome is looking and commenting (Just ask Tim McClellend about the playoffs this year and about his rookie pine tar year).
Launch went well after they shed worries about a chunk of ice on the fuel line. Now they have work to do.
Yes, I watched it go up with a party of co-workers. We always meet in the parking lot to watch it explode through the clouds and stand there, necks back, mouths agape, fascinated until it's long gone from our line of sight.
Yesterday we didn't get to see the rocket boosters fall off due to the trajectory, but sometimes we CAN see them fall.
We have some new folks from WI in our office and it was their first launch, which is always exciting. :)
