Anyway, we walked about 3 minutes from the Lab Boy lair to see the launch, so you get to see the pix. Here are the best 2:

Cool pics. All my shuttle shots are pre digital and I have no idea where they are.
I got to see a few launches close up when I lived in Florida. I was lucky to have a friend who's brother got us passes to watch on base.
Of course it took a few try before we actually got to see a launch with the frequent delays .
I've always wanted to see one up close. I guess I had better get on that before the shuttle is phased out, eh?
I highly recommend a close viewing if you can pull it off. It is quite impressive.
I guess you are running out of time.
I did not think about that. Hard to believe that it is being phased out.
I remember watching when they did the flight test with the Enterprise shuttle and watching the first launch on TV.
