Liz & George smiling at 4 am excited to see a shuttle launch into space :)On Sunday at 4:39 a.m. we got up with thousands of other people to watch a night shuttle launch. Titusville was SO busy with tons of traffic and people everywhere. We walked about a mile from our house to see the launch. We could have watched it out our front door, but I had to see it take off from the pad. It got cancelled due to a low cloud ceiling, BOO. All the poor people that had driven into town got stuck in terrible traffic for the drive back and didn't even get to see the shuttle go up. It was taking cars 2 hours to get to the interstate, which normally takes 10 minutes. It was rescheduled for the next day, and fortunately everything went smoothly on Monday morning. At 4:14 am EST the Space Shuttle Endeavour lit up the sky bright as day...it was awesome! It was likely the last night shuttle launch ever, and the first launch I got to see! My video is a little too long to post on blogger (1 min 41 sec) but I posted it on YouTube for your viewing pleasure. It's pretty cool because it shows how light it actually got. It was spectacular! You can visit NASA's website for more information on this mission. The space shuttle docked at the international space station early Wednesday morning, not too shabby of a distance for less than two days of travel. I'm cool and just learned you can embed YouTube videos so let's see if this works:
