The shuttle Endeavour took off tonight and for once I was around, the weather was right, and it was nighttime and I remembered.
So I go bouncing outside and sure enough, you can damn sure see it!
So I grabbed my camera and took a quick picture. Unfortunately, it didn't come out that well since the lens immidiately fogged up (Thanks Florida Humidity!) and plus it was a long exposure and I didn't have a tripod.
Nevertheless, I think this is too freaking cool. Considering I'm like 500 miles away and it's STILL this big and noticeable?!
That's AMAZING to me.
