Re: Shuttle Launch Scrub (Island Man)
Looks like the launch is delayed until Saturday night at the earliest. Default plan for Friday is to make a run up to DaytonaUSA. Staging the caravan at Eckler's parking lot. Departure about 11 a.m. Join us if you're in the area, waiting for the Endeavor to launch! :cheers:

Re: Shuttle Launch Scrub (Mean Green 2000)
Scrubbed again!!!
We went out onto the beach this evening (Tuesday the 4th) to try and catch a glimpse of the postponed shuttle launch. Though obviously not as spectacular as watching it from Cocoa Beach, I understand it can be seen from the Hilton Head coast.
At the last minute, it was scrubbed AGAIN!!
I guess we just weren't meant to see STS-108 go up!! :cuss

Wish I could be there to wait it out with y'all Mark. Just too much on the agenda at the office this week to break free again. :sad:

Re: Shuttle Launch Scrub (savewave)
I know what you mean Jim....I'll be conducting a class if/when it goes off today....maybe if I finish a little early, I'll watch it from my rear view mirror as I head back to Tampa.
Had a great time when y'all were down and maybe it could another big cruise down if y'all'd like to attend race Rock II :D :cheers:

I still hope to see a night shuttle launch. Maybe I'll luck out and one will be scheduled about the same time as Race Rock II! :yesnod:

Re: Shuttle Launch Scrub (SeaFive)
That's :cool:
I was going to watch on TV, but I got distracted at the office and missed it. Saw the replay on the news later. Looked like it wasn't quite a night launch. Kind of a twilight launch. But still, spectacular! "Let Freedom Roar!" :yesnod:

Re: Shuttle Launch Scrub (savewave)
Here's my pics...
I was about 30 miles away, so they're mostly just vapor-trails.

Sorry I missed the group. :(

Re: Shuttle Launch
I was at work, and had less than a minute to get the camera out of my car and start snapping. It was a bit too far away for really good shots, but they're good enough under the circumstances.
I would like to thank Jim Willis and Milton Isles for their emails about the first launch attempt. Too bad it was posponed. Thank you, anyway.
