1. In this blog I tried to explain my experience seeing the space launch.

2. This is a great blog about anything you need to see the Launch. There Rainer Gerhards is doing a great job explaining everything he needs, research, etc to come from Germany and see the launch. In fact, he came before but he couldn't see it so help him with your comments. I am enjoying his blog daily.

3. When I started looking for some advise about how take this kind of pictures I found this website. There he explain almost anything you need.
I like how he show us how is the view from different places.

I was thinking that could be better if I choose good pictures from the group and I post them here. I was considering too choose them voting, but it could be complicated so I'll choose some of them and if you want to see one here, just post a comment in the group and I'll post it. ( or send me a message)

Ixo -I was in the Saturn V viewing area, on the river.


Van Corey


Will Glynn - The varying winds at altitude start tearing apart the smoke trail only minutes after launch.


Samuel Shotick - the trail remains with Discovery only a speck in the sky, looking like a mid-day star


Adam Chaffins - The moment everyone was waiting for. Too bad we couldn't actually see the launch pad though. And the shuttle went straight through a low cloud, lol


Jamie Drake - I work out there.. I think I was just about 1/2 mile west of the Media Boxes
