    Space Shuttle launch from the water.

    We headed out in the dark hoping the launch was good to go. Got there with just a couple of minutes to spare.

    It was amazing to see and for the first time we heard the long low rumble across the water.

    Different. I love the 4th from the top, though I guess one would have a hard time guessing from just the image that it was the SS launching.

    No, that is the shuttle under its own power. The big plume on the left is from the booster rockets.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    Left, right, left, right!!! :mad2: :cryin:

    The plume on the RIGHT that is starting to fall apart is the booster rockets. The bright light with the wispy tail in the left of the frame is the shuttle under its own power....

    My bad.
    No, I DON'T need that.
