At least they’ll know better than to search for a bucket of prop wash.

Well, unfortunately, there was too much cloud cover to see it from Lakeland. Bummer....

LOL! I could care less if she’s there or not...this is about what we used to believe in with all our hearts...The American Spirit. It’s still there- but not as vibrant and visible across the nation as it was.
Godspeed Endeavour!

Same here! First one I’ve not seen :( After the clouds cleared a little bit I caught a glimpse of the trail- barely. Of course I’m further inland- Seminole County.

Oh, my bad. That’s 15 minutes prior to the launch. So no contrail shadow there. That’s just a break in the cloud deck.

Great to know it was a smooth launch. We hoped to see it from the golf course, but there was dense cloud cover at launch time.

According to the after-action report going on right now, they were right at the cloud thickness threshold, i.e. 500’. A previous mission got scrubbed because of a 600’ deck.

And so ends 50 years of US human space flight. For the next 10 years we will have 0 launch capability. NASA may not have a human rated craft until 2020, but America will have one sooner, and at a better cost than what anyone else can offer.
