That is really cool. I used to watch all the launches I could on TV when I was a kid (in the late 60s and in the early 70s).

I am "PISSED" at my self that I did not take my Brother up on his offer to go to his condo in Titusville, FL to watch a launch of the Space Shuttle before the program was scrapped.

It's an amazing sight from Naples. This is the second launch that's looked like this. Very different compared to the shuttle when all we'd see is glowing yellow light going up. I don't know what they're fueling the Atlas missles with but against the dawn sky it's spectacular.

I even caught the separation.

Hope they do one this winter cause I'll be there. Great shots.

Very cool. My sis can see the launches from her house in Melbourne, but not sure she can see that! Amazing...
