Off in the distance you can see launch sites 39A (right) and 39B (left - where the shuttle was launched).
About a minute into launch...
Close-up about a minute and a half into launch...
Just prior to booster separation...
Boosters have separated... can you see the little white dot? Center horizontally and go up about a third from the bottom...
Post-launch celebration. And no, that isn't smoke from my head as a result of the dead batteries - it's left over from the launch! :)
We noticed that the vapor trail from the solid boosters seemed to continue burning well after the launch. Note the eerie orange glow inside the cloud.
Who's a cutie?
