Denise and I attended the Space Shuttle Launch yesterday morning. The rough video I took can be viewed.

Very cool. I was still asleep in a warm bed. Great film and it will be significant because that's the last night launch for the shuttle. Only 4 to go.

Thanks. I was pretty good at basic geometry in school. Could you
elaborate just a bit as it applies to the launch ?

The Shuttle needs a lot of things to align for a launch so it may arrive at a point in space at the right time, altitude, and orbit. The earths rotation, and declination have to be taken into account along with the orbit of wherever or what ever it is going to (space station) Plus making sure there is nothing up there that would conflict with it’s orbit. I sure there is a lot more that goes into it but it’s well above my pay grade. This tell them what date, time, inclination and azimuth How long to burn the main engines if a 1 or 2 OMS burns are needed (OMS Orbital maneuvering system). Its not a Point and Shoot process.

I think it means you are seeing the last of the Space Shuttles. If memory serves correct, we (the US) is down to 4 or 5 more Shuttle flights then they are retired.

Actually I was thinking how pretty a night launch is. It literally turns night into day. Even at 60 nm away I can just discern shadows from it booster light.
And having been up close like Terry, the sound is unbelievable! You feel it in your chest. You can actually see it coming across the water of the bay, as a pressure way.
4 more launches and the shuttle is retired. It was built just to build the ISS.
