Went into the clouds about 30 seconds after launch but the glowing column looked a heckuva lot like the top of the Ark of the Covenant ascending. The bad news, we drove out to Titusville and my transmission burned up. Aren't you glad I didn't call you to pick us up at 3:30 in the morning? Anyhow, there's a Delta 2 rocket slated to launch between 2:09 and 2:23am tomorrow (Saturday) morning if anyone's up.

She said it looked like the sky was winking at us. While I didn't exactly see that, it was impressive due to the crescent moon and the bright planet. Thanks for pointing it out!

My fingers are crossed that it launches safely and that there are minimal clouds between Orlando and the Cape.

Sith Warrior Posts: 777 Sun, 23 May, 2010 7:12 PM Palm Bay	A couple of days ago, the space station was supposed to pass over us at 8:30 pm . My Dad watches it everytime it does that and I have not seen it once. I get so into my work that I forget to go outside and look up. I heard you can actually see more than just a flashing light in the sky. I'm going to get a cheap telescope some day. Has anyone watched the space station pass by?
