Here's a few photos I took from the spot we were at Friday. One with the shuttle in focus, one with friends Chris and Ginny in focus... I combined the two on the PC to get everything in focus. It was a real treat being there, couldn't have happened without a friend who works out there getting the hook-up.

30 minutes to launch.

So far everything looks good

NASA TV is a cool way to watch if you can't be there!

Watched the launch with my son, while he doesn't appreciate the miracle of it all... it brings tears to my eyes every time.
