Shuttle Launch

[djswivel]

Any Florida cats watch this today? At Full Sail classes all went on break a few minutes before it took off so we all got to see it. I've never seen it before so to me it was cool as fuck.

I used to watch it all the time back home, even though tampa was 5 miles away u can still see and hear it clear as day. THe sonic boon used to scare the fuck outta people

class..

yo i always though, isnt it time we launched some other type of ship other than a rocket, surely there is a more efficient way of burning fuel....

^^^^My thought is "Do they still need to have that much power to get out of the earth's gravitationnal pool?"

I mean, wasn't there a plane that did it?

I'm not from Florida but I watched it on t.v. at work. It's pretty amazing stuff.

At the elementary school I teach at the principal is friends with one of the guys going up, he's the one that will be doing the space walking outside the shuttle.

That's a trip being able to walk in space.
