Missle launch :shock:

Watching the space shuttle go off is a life changing moment... Serious HP involved :D :D

Rob. I hope it does launch on time... get as close as you can, feel the ground shake and it will turn night into day.. It is amazing =D>

And,,, lets Hope Danica survives her first stock car race too. [-o<

Damn... coming out of the final 9 minute hold the launch was scrubbed due to low clouds... it was running real smooth too. Rob. I hope you get to see it go off before you leave Fla. and lets hope for good weather for the 500.. Are you going to the twin 150's ?

I used to live about 5 miles down the road from there at a place called Shang-ri-la Harbour which on the opposite shore from Indian Island. Watched the shuttle launch once while I was having my coffee up on deck. Wow! That thing goes a lot faster than it seems to on the televisor!
