I Saw the Shuttle Take Off!

It was so cool. A group of us drove out to a park 7 miles from the launch site with a perfect view across the lake. The shuttle took off at exactly 8:47 and it was really cool. It was like a bright light going up the sky. It made a wide light path across the lake. The boom didn't come until the shuttle was almost out of sight! I'm really glad we were able to see it!

Thanks! I should probably point out that these are pictures from the NASA webpage. I didn't have my camera and this is what I saw! So I wanted to show some pictures of the event. :)
