I watched it on CNN.com. Went off without a hitch, the first ever shuttle launch on a July 4th.
I live near Miami. Like 200 miles south of Canaveral yet on a clear day, I can see the shuttle go up from my office window. Today it was too overcast. Night launches are the best, it's just a tiny orange dot rising in the sky.

I heard about it. Kinda makes me wonder why the U.S. is still sending the Shuttle up. What's the ultimate agenda? Anyhow, this launch was out done by the North Koreans. If it were easy I'd like to blow them off the map to show them how ICBM's are really supposed to work and not fail 35 seconds into launch. May God help us all...

Yes, another shuttle launch. After the problems with the foam, I was really afraid, and felt they should have scrubbed it. But, I'm not in that position, so...

I think you're talking about the Space Shuttle.

Space. The final frontier. Where there's no stone spiral stairs to fight your way up with a sword. International my orbit.
