Went out to watch the shuttle take off. Amazing night time show. Godspeed.

Clear sky, bright moon and maybe the best night launch yet.

I'm in Tampa and could clearly see it go up. I was amazed.

me too. It must be an amazing sight to see a spacecraft of any type to take off.

Was driving north with my dad in the car and we saw this stange looking fireball in the sky. It looked like a meteor but it was going UP. Then we realized it was the shuttle. I forgot about it, wow. What a clear night to see it.

It's great to see but if you can get within a few miles you can sometimes feel a slight pressure wave just after launch.

My wife and I went out to watch, we were joined by a few neighbors. We are in Land O' Lakes, well over 100 miles away.

The night launches are great - RARE - but great.
