Yesterday was gorgeous day! Temps in the 80s and nary a cloud.

Thanks for the video. I missed the launch. I remember year and years ago when the first shuttle launched. We were in elementary school and they put our class in the floor with a bunch of other classes to watch the launch around one old fuzzy TV that was there. Thanks again.

"Nay, it [this constitution of government] must perish, if there be not that vital spirit in the people, which alone can nourish, sustain, and direct all its movements. It is in vain, that statesmen shall form plans of government, in which the beauty and harmony of a republic shall be embodied in visible order, shall be built up on solid substructions, and adorned by every useful ornament, if the inhabitants suffer the silent power of time to dilapidate its walls, or crumble its massy supporters into dust; if the assaults from without are never resisted, and the rottenness and mining from within are never guarded against. Who can preserve the rights and liberties of the people, when they shall be abandoned by themselves? Who shall keep watch in the temple, when the watchmen sleep at their posts? Who shall call upon the people to redeem their possessions, and revive the republic, when their own hands have deliberately and corruptly surrendered them to the oppressor, and have built the prisons, or dug the graves of their own friends?
– Justice Joseph Story, "Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States," Volume II, Chapter XIII: Mode of Passing Laws, Sections 900-901, pp. 364 (1833)

Videos really can't do a space launch justice. The roar of the rocket(s), although not translated well by the camera is awesome! If you can get close enough you can feel the heat of the burn on your face.

 last one. I saw a saturnV launch from Kissimmee in the 90s- and even from there it was COOL! My wife really wanted to go see the last launch, but I think we didn't hear about it in time. Makes me kind sick that they aren't building updated shuttles, and the Mars mission was cancelled. (Especially since there were some bankers who got bailed out and went right back to partying it up.)

This is the closest I've come to watching your video Scott. I see you and Peggy & one of your kids? you say a few words then the video gets hung up at the 18 second mark and just buffers for days.
Will try again later cause I really want to see this video.

Loaded fine that time, thanks for posting. Sad to think that is the last flight.
A million lbs of thrust, did I hear that correctly? Simply amazing!
