Default shuttle launch

Did anyone see the shuttle launch this p.m? I was out there, but nothing..
Too much cloud cover?

Couldn't see anything. It was headed toward the coast and away from us.

Too many clouds here in my village. Hubby was on the golf course, on an elevated green and said he couldn't see anything either, too much cloud cover.

Did anyone hear the sonic boom?

Saw nothing, heard nothing, was hoping it didn't happen, but alas ...

Never did take the time to figure out posting pictures or else I would post one of a previous launch.

Too many clouds to see anything. I didn't hear the sonic boom, either.

Default Launch in Tall Trees

We saw about 2 seconds of the launch as the shuttle broke through the cloud cover into a window of blue sky and then back out of sight. Maybe the4 next view will last longer.

Talking viewing the launch

Sure we saw it. However it was with TV Kayak club sitting on the water down at Merritt Island. Here is a link to our video.
