re: Endeavour on its way.
Same here, ER!!!!
Our neighbors were out there too and those that were lucky enough to see it from their two story houses, were cheering before we were because they could see it before us. (lol) :}
Yep, saw the boosters separate too though and shuttle aiming brightly towards the East.
I have to admit that this was the first time I'd seen so many neighbors venture out to take a look, but then it was a Friday night, thankfully.
A wonderfull event for us here too (and me as usual :}
I managed to take a digital photo, but of course, all you can see are the flames from the rockets, still memorable.
I'm not sure, but I'm guessing that this was one of THE heaviest shuttle launches. Shuttle's cargo bay is packed!
