10 Seconds to Launch
Never mind, Glen, you have one excellent frame that I believe any of us would be envious. I know one seventy-something little boy at heart who love to have that as a big picture hanging on his den wall! :-)) Dave "Glen in Orlando" wrote in message g.com...

Hi Betty..
I think that storm was at least 30+ miles east of the launch pad... big storm.. far away.. Glen in Orlando "The Nottles" wrote in message ...

I was about 7 miles west of the Pad looking due east. Big Storms out over
the Atlantic... but they must have been far enough away to meet launch criteria... pretty neat night. Glen in Orlando Very cool shot! I'm surprised that they launched with that lightning, even if it was far away. Lightning can easily travel 30+ miles horizontally, especially it if comes off the top of the cloud. Constructive criticism always welcome. BH |

Robert...
I've seen more launches in person than I can remember. I witnessed the very first one too. Back then we could actually drive onto the facility, find a place along the side of the road, and camp out overnight waiting for an early morning launch. I went with my fraternity once (my college was less then 30 miles or so away, and we did just that. Woke up in the morning, around dawn, to find that an alligator was less then 30 feet away just watching us from the Canal. An entire fraternity on the hood of a few cars in a matter of seconds.... grin. Folks, if you think you can get down here to witness one, it is awe inspiring. A couple of seconds after launch, the sound from the Rocket rolls across the river and grows in intensity... if the breeze is blowing westward the sound is amplified that much more. I've taken my kids to about 10-15 in their young lives. Priceless. Glen in Orlando "Robert Spanjaard" wrote in message bel.net...

:-) That's one of the few I've kept in my Collection of other's work, Glen. That must have been a few weeks ago at least since you posted it. Dave "Glen in Orlando" wrote in message g.com...
