Okay, so I'm about 50 miles from the launch site, but I still find it impressive every time one of the Shuttle's goes off. Depending on the angle, sometimes it has appeared as coming out of my neighbor's chimney!

I just saw it on CNN, looked like a great launch. You're really lucky to be able to see it all the time. 8) Wink

Missed the live coverage, but good to hear it went OK.
Big payload this time: 17.5 tons is what I heard (more trusswork for the ISS). 8)
