We're still on the bus heading back to the parking lot... Connected via laptop/cellphone. Here are two shots from the viewing location. Kevin, without a doubt, amazing. Thank you so much on behalf of me, my grandfather, uncle, and friend Andy...
I'll take the time tonight to go through them all and pick out which look best.

Kevin, we just got home, and we are all totally blown away Lockheed-Martin took great care of us, and provided an awesome place to view the launch from. I too will hopefully have pictures to post tonight some time, and we can't thank you enough for getting us in on this once-in-a-lifetime (for most of us) opportunity, we are truly grateful..
Thanks my friend, and you know...If YOU ever need anything........
Chris, Andy, Adrian...we're really bummed that we missed you guys, I hope that if there's a NEXT TIME, we can all get together.....I owe SOMEBODY a beer or three!
