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
Our Group
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
