this is a rare view of the launch from the SRB view looking down
about 30 seconds before launch and then the trip all the way back down to splash!

This is the coolest footage of anything I have ever seen.

DaveB is not far away from 10K posts.

I happened to be in Florida on vacation when a Shuttle launched. Unfortunately I was staying on the other side (Fort Myers), it was a 6am launch, and it was not definite. So I slept in - and it went on time :sad:

Hi Joe.

Sorry I've been hard at it...yep Reds and Concorde I had for my 10,000th post.

Really I reached that a while before due to lost posts...but we all get.
