My friend Scott took these pictures at the Night Launch of the Space Shuttle Endeavor the other evening (actually, it was the other morning at 2:30am). I thought they were awesome, so I wanted to share them with you.
If you’ve never been to Florida for a Space Shuttle launch – come on! You will really enjoy it. The shuttle fleet retires in 2010, so make your plans now and come see us too.
I actually woke up to watch the launch. I couldn’t see the shuttle because of the clouds, but I did see a bright glow on the horizon when it launched, and again as it entered the clouds there was another bright glow that was a reflection off the cloud layer. The launch facility is 45 miles from our house.
