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. :coolsmiley:
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! :a040:
