The announcer says the vehicle sheds propellant at 4744 lbs/sec. Shoo-doggy. Those are some big fuel injectors. Makes NHRA Top Fuel look like an econowagon.

Me too. That heavy lifter must've shook the ground.

We went to the LA Museum a while back and got up close to the Endeavor. I should post up some of the pics I took. Too bad they mothballed the Vandenberg AFB shuttle launch facility before they ever used it out here in California.

The last launch I watched was Challengers in 1986.

A bunch of us from work were watching it from the parking lot.

I saw that vapor trail split off into two and the guy next to me said "That don't look right".

I have had no desire to watch another one.

I watched it live in school.

Ugly.

But you don't give up.

I was Best Camper in the initial Space Camp class post disaster. At the time, I didn't understand why all of the adults cried during our "graduation."
