Discovery Launch

Raw footage of last nights launch of Discovery I shot from my front yard. I haven't had time to edit it so some of it's a little jumpy. 27MB

Good idea. I didn't have time to get up there. I didn't remember the launch until 10 min prior. Had to do a quick charge on the battery.

But next time it will be from the roof.

Awesome shots K.

Agree, next time the roof.

Wish I had a video camera when I lived down there. I lived in Cocoa for awhile. I could watch the countdown on the NASA Channel, then 3 seconds after launch I could look out my living room window and see it go.

Always something to see. Everyone really should experience a launch sometime in their lives.
