Shuttle Pics

This is the best of all my pictures, it's something you really just have to be here for . Everyone goes outside to watch, you can't see them because we all keep all lights off when there is going to be a launch. At least on my street anyway. But you know everyone's out there , you here the "Is it still Green?" or "Is it going to be another Scrub?" from all the neighbors dark yards. Then it's like a sunrise through the trees but silent, and then it makes it way off the launch pad and it's still silent, when it hits the horizon and she's going strong, everyone starts cheering from their yards. That's when you actually hear the boom, it really is quite amazing. We are very proud to be a part of the Space Coast and we will be attending a retirement party this Friday out on the Cape for a friend of my husbands, that should be fun! Oh and note the electrical lines coming from the pole to the house..now you know why so many people loose power in hurricanes, though the past three years we have only had surges and no outages, unlike my mom who has underground electrical but her power went out for about a week not too far back!
