For a whopping 20 seconds or so, NASA lit up the night sky with its launch of the Space Shuttle Endeavor this morning (at 2:28am). Then it vanished into the clouds and the show ended quite abruptly (not because anything went wrong with the launch — it just wasn’t visible behind the cloud cover that had earlier represented the biggest “threat” to the launch window). Here’s the video I shot of the launch, from Space View Park in Titusville, FL (it’s about as close as a lowly “civilian” like me can get to the launch pad — there is a theoretically “closer” location, that NASA sells tickets for ($52 per head, ugh), that immediately sell out within minutes of being made available). Enjoy!
