Just watch the one in CNN.com today.
Whats amazing is that when the booster is ejected, at that stage, the on ground cam still visibly show the shuttle and its booster falling off.
Then the on board cam showed while the booster is falling off, the shuttle is actually already in the outer space region, can see the earth at its dark cosmo background, which means its way up high already.
It's just me, I'm amaze by how powerful the ground cam was. Heh.

We watched it; still thrilled after all these years to see vertical liftoffs and flight that travels 409+ miles in a few minutes (and that's in gravity!)
Camera technology has so improved so we watch the liftoff with ground cameras and from cameras mounted on the shuttle. BEAUTY and awe-inspiring to realize that we can move beyond.

Missed this one. I was just in Orlando for business earlier this week - if I'd only extended my stay a couple more days I'd have been able to see it in person.

I usually do. I feel a real sense of pride/amazement/awe.

Nope, was not aware it happened. Yes, I am embarrassed.
