I was suppose to hear from Uri_ba directly after launch. Never got that call, He must be completely blown away. Lucky dog.

He must be busy finding his Gator Tours bus among the hundreds that park along the Causeway <g>.

Uri got a real treat this morning as this was one of the most beautiful launches that I've ever seen....  The "contrails" that Discovery was leaving (after SRB sep) was something that I've never seen before -- very interesting...

Also, the rumbling of the Shuttle never, never has reached my house here in East Orlando -=- but this one literally rocked my house for about 30 seconds -- it was truly awesome.

Also, about 15 mins before launch, we got to see the ISS fly over -- never seen that before with the naked eye.... that was a real treat for me and my wife.
