Did anybody else watch the launch tonight?

Scroll down to view the entire launch sequence from the bottom up.
The only information we could find was online. I was a little surprised that the local news didn't scroll info along the bottom of the TV screen. It might be 'old hat' to the rest of you, but it was a real thrill for me.
The launch was postponed and postponed. It was originally scheduled for 7:33 so we checked the computer, ran outside, back inside to refresh the launch page, back outside, back inside, back outside...
About 2 hours later, at T minus 2 minutes, we went back outside and saw the sky light up at launch time! Yay! It was a beautifully clear night, and we could see the bright orange glow of the rocket engines all the way to engine shutdown.
This is definitely one of the best parts of living here! You can just walk out on your lanai and watch rockets soar into space! I love this stuff!
