Thanks for the information. We were watching last week when it was cancelled.

Tonight should be clearer than last week. Hope we see it!

Thanks for the update. I tried watching last week but it was always too cloudy even if they got off the launch.

All go at T minus 13 minutes

Watched it from our home on the east coast. Windows didn't shake like when the shuttle used to go up. Nice launch, although not as exciting as when they aren't manned (or womanned). :)

I almost forgot about it, but did manage to see it.

I need to read more about the mission to understand what I saw. After the main plume ended, you could see two small objects that appeared to be falling back to earth. I say appeared to be, as I am not sure their actual trajectory. In fact, I am not sure what they were......

Anyone see them and can educate me as to what I was seeing?

Our guess was booster rockets falling into ocean, but that was a guess....
