Space Shuttle Launch 
March, 2009 


 

Looking south and waiting for Blast-Off

Cape Kennedy is about an hour, by car, to the south of us

 


Zooming in on that crowd

Blast-Off 
Crowd's blurry -- I focused in on the light 
 


Seconds after Blast-Off 
 


Zooming out on same picture 

If we could see it, Cape Kennedy is just above those two people standing the edge of the surf
 


What a sight! 

 


Separation of the two fuel tanks which are to the right

The shuttle is that blip to the left

 


Tanks dropping back to Earth--residue exhaust streams evident 

 


Back to the fading stream
