I know, I was unprepared! lol I had been out shooting all day and didn't think about the launch until about 3 minutes before... then dashed outside and joined the neighbors... ooooh'd and aaaaah'd and THEN thought of the camera! duh!

I saw it from Jacksonville. Unfortunately it was fairly cloudy, so we were pretty lucky to see it at all.
No photos. |

my son watched a launch just prior to his dad's death when he was 5. They went together and he still remembers it. Never put off until tomorrow........
science is a marvelous thing indeed :-)

I watched and shot 35mm from LaBelle, about 125 miles to the south west. I located in a dark pasture and hope that the negs will tell the story. I have a new Fuji S3 ordered, and my other is in the repair, so the film shoot. If I can get the negs without having them cut up, maybe I will be able to post a pic soon. It was about 1/4 frame high, shooting horizonal in the viewfinder. Beautiful from here, as I could see it clearly as it cleared the horizon, then about 1/2 thru booster burn thru a cloud layer, then clear again. Film ran out just as the boosters seperated, which is just right, as it's just a very bright spot in the sky after that. It continued up, then back down until it disappeared over the horizon to the north. It's an awesome machine. I camped out 3 nights to be there for the first launch STS1.
