singular23, I live on the other side of the state roughly 120 miles away and I am able to clearly view the launches. No sound though that probably disipates much closer maybe about 10 miles out

i was at mgm studios when this happened...it was awesome

[singular23]

So how far away can these launches usally be seen from? (heared?)

Now thats escape velocity.

Two boosters, you're aware of this. right? ?

Thanks for posting the video so soon. I missed the launch on tv and was looking on the net for some footage. I am in Belize- a long way from home. Hasn't the world become a global village? Por supuesto que si!

Thank you for the vid. It was as if I was standing on the balcony with you.

[elkinsinbox]

dude, i can't believe you live that close to the launchpad.

[skrizo]

That looked like it was really fun to experience live. Better than fireworks imo

[acidbass808]

FOCUS!

Nice video though. Must have been amazing to see in person.

my camera was on autofocus.. that was the best it could do.. it's not an expensive camera, obviously. :)
