Space shuttle

One of the great things about living in O-town is being able to see the space shuttle go up. The back of our house faces west so we go up on our second floor balcony to watch it go up. Lucky for us, the shuttle was scrubbed on Monday and Tuesday and was rescheduled for Friday at midnight. Although we were all tired from our first week back to school we decided to stay up and watch it. Night launches are some of the best ones to see. It lighted the sky up, we could see when the boosters fell off and watched the shuttle for about 5 minutes before it disappeared. We only have a few more chances to watch the shuttle before they are retired.
This is video taken from our balcony of a shuttle launch in March.
