I was at the first launch of the space shuttle. Quite an inspiring sight. The sound though, when you hear it in the Rush song its one thing, in person it's just incredible.

Great shots!!

Awsome shots!! I got to see one launch in person about 8 years ago in Florida. It was amazing to witness!

I've always wanted to attend a launch. I think the program only has a few left.

Thanks for posting, very cool.
Is that like a public viewing area or a VIP type area??

Thanks for the pics! I'm about 2 hours north and I still had a nice view of of the launch. I'm gonna go see the next one up close before they get shut down.

This area is sort of a employee, friends/family viewing. very near the media section. It's still takes a lottery to get in. These were shot by my friend Jesse since i didn't have my camera.

Joel I was in Palm Bay, I have a piece of property down there. I was surprised I didn't see too many cars out ,it was January but the weather was nice.

Maybe next time you'll have better luck. I should have bought some property in Palm Bay when it was dirt cheap. Next time you're down here go to Doubles Hoagies (corner of Nasa and Wickham) on Wed. nights. not a lot of pro-touring but some nice cars.

Thank you so much for posting these pictures.

Seeing the Space Shuttle Launch is something that I've alway's wanted to do.

Once again - thank you
