The shuttle launch was delayed until Sunday as it sprung a leak. I think that you can watch it on NASA TV. I wish I was in Florida to see another one ;)

My sister who lives in the panhandle has never seen one, lol....


There is no problem in the human condition that cannot be solved by the proper placement, timing, tamping and fusing of high explosives.

A small bat was on the external tank during launch.

The entire area is a nature preserve. It is really quite striking. On my tour I watched a gator munch a bird at the side of the road. I guess eagles will nest there as well.
