Shuttle Atlantis launch



On Feb. 7 we drove to Titusville, Fl., across the Indian River from the Kennedy Space Center to watch the launch of Shuttle Atlantis with European Space Agency module Columbus to be delivered to the ISS. Although we had watched Shuttle launches from our backyard in Palm Bay, about 35 miles south of KSC several times, we had never witnessed it from so close up. It was a unique experience!

Thousands of people from as far as Minnesota the Indian river shores, with cameras trained on the launch pad about 10 miles away, were watching the launch in awe.









Up and away - awesome!
