The night before launch was
fabulously clear.
|
|
|
 |
|
 |
|
 |
| After several launches I finally
got the locations and timing right. I caught the billowy smoke just after
ignition.
|
|
I was curious how close to the
ground the launch would be visible from 14 miles away. Pretty close as it
turns out. |
|
They start the roll maneuver
right away after lift off.

 |
| It was pretty cloudy on launch
day. |

I always love to see the space
boat blast through the white fluffy stuff. |
