All you guys (and gals) make me jealous! I've never seen a shuttle launch, except on HDNet. I've heard it going over numerous times on the way to Edwards, but never going up. Guess I just have to content myself with my job at Sea Launch! ;-) 73, Jim KQ6EA
I saw one once in person. The one thing that always surprises you is how fast it climbs and is out of sight. There was high cloud cover on the launch I saw and in only a few seconds it was already above the clouds.
