Default Saw the Space Shuttle launch today

One of the benefits of living in Florida and 20 minutes from Cape Canaveral is that I can see every launch from my backyard or drive over and watch them on the Air Force base. I went over today and took the following pictures. They are not great but I thought you might like to see them.

I tried to take them as quick as possible and they are posted in sequence.

Asshole. I was due to go watch a launch when I was in Florida a couple of years ago but it got cancelled cause of shitty Florida weather.

Sweet pics though dude.

Cool! Your pics came out better than my shitty Super 8mm movies from high school. I saw STS4 and they wouldn't let us on or near the island because of a "top secret" payload.

Correct me if I'm wrong, and I well could be, but isn't the payload inside spacecraft? How could you possibly the it in all it's top secret glory?

Dude... I know I've asked you before... where in Florida are you? For some reason I thought you were in Melborne.

No, I am east of Orlando in a town called Chuluota. (Yes Bean, you can make fun of it like miserable moochie.) It is mostly horse and cattle country with lots of rednecks thrown in. The next biggest town just to the west of me is Oviedo. Just north of me is a town called Mims. Mims is the self proclaimed celery capital of the world.
