There is a lot of interest in this in Sweden, as the first ever Swedish
astronaut is out there in the space shuttle. His name is Christer
Fuglesang.
I hope the cats will purr a bit for him and the others to return to
earth unharmed.

Hi Matthew,

We didn't get to see a people launch, but one of the biggest thrills of our
trip was sitting at anchor on the water and watching the weather satellite
shoot up into the air last spring. Seeing something like that live is awe
inspiring.

Hi Matt,

I watched it live on Nasa website - spectacular! My sister lives in
Tavares, Fl and she said she could see it from there. She took photos
- maybe I will try to get her to send them to me.

Had a curb side seat there is nothing like going to one night becomes day
it was visible for over 20 minutes. The night was so clear you could see
the booster separation perfectly and watch them fall. All I can say is
WOW

That's wonderful Matthew, I am envious!
I know someone on another group who works
there and has been snapping pics all along,
inside the vehicle assembly building, and then
at rollout a few weeks ago. He told me it would
be a night launch but I just didn't keep my eyes
peeled enough to catch it. I'm hoping to get a
few good candid up-close shots though in my
e-mail sometime soon.
