Avalon Park...east orlando.

I was watching it on CNN and decided to look out the Window and there it was. Too awesome.

 

i love stepping out to watch the launches... coolest one i ever saw so far was a night launch... sitting on the beach... another that was more of a surprize was on our way to a curise ship along I 95... didn't know it was going up.. and there it was in my windscreen... yes.. god speed...

 

i agree ... that is one of my goals ... a night launch! I hear it is an amazing sight!

I had the same scenario as you ... was driving down i95 one afternoon and couldn't understand why everyone was pulling of the road to look in the sky ... until i FELT the car shake and looked up myself! Truly amazing.

 

ahhhhh you have no idea how bad i wanted to go. its been a dream of mine since i was a kid to see it go up. i work over 2 and a half hours away over in leesburg and i was watching the weather all day and it didnt look like it was gonna go. i didnt want to risk losing money leaving work when it probably wasnt gonna launch, and wouldnt u know it it cleared up an hour before.

i looked at the schedule and endeavor is supposed to launch march 11th at night! so i have one more chance before i move back to PA.

 

I have seen the night launches in MIAMI!!!

from our roof when I was a kid

 

someone said that there were no more night launches ... does anyone know for sure?

 

if you go on nasa's website for the next launch in march (endeavour), it says 2:15am, and i think i remember them launching at night once before even after the columbia accident... i really hope i get to see it go up either way.
