> > I don't know if any of you guys saw it or could have seen it, but when the Shuttle took off last week it was the best one yet. It was about 6:10 in the morning and the sun was just about to peek up for dawn in the East and the moon was a full moon in the West when the shuttle sped up into the sky. So when it was way up there the smoke from it was glistening with orange and violet colors from the sun on one side and illuminating a bright white from the moon on the other side. And of course the bright flames were clearly visible as it jettisoned up. It was quite spectacular and was very thrilling to watch. I'm sorry to say I didn't get it on videotape but i'll never forget it. > > See you for now, Rick

Actually Kevin, he wasn't at the space center. He was watching this from his backyard, and that is about 160 miles away. But, you can still see the thing brightly from there, you just can't hear it.
