Launch Successful

We just watched the Shuttle launch ....
we are about 30 miles from the Kennedy Space station, but the shuttle is still clearly visible from this distance.


It was great to see it heading off to the International Space Centre

We could just about see the solid rocket boosters fall away when the shuttle was 2 minutes into its flight .... I think it was about 60 miles away by that point as it was flying directly away from us

This is a view of the plume about 5 minutes after the launch from the drive of the villa
