way fun! this trip was well worth the travels. i've seen dozens of launches but the spirit was a trip in itself. the only regret i have is never seeing both a night launch and a landing : ( i would have shared my own shaky footage but my crappy iphone took a dump before i could sync(oh well). btw, don't get mad about the retirement of the shuttles just take a look at this..nasa.gov/mission_pages/s­huttle/shuttlemissions/sts135/­multimedia/gallery/opf2.html

Discovery was a good ship I hate to see her retire. Farewell Discovery and we thank you.

Now America has to thumb a ride into space from Russia on a piece of their failed lunar mission, Soyuz...

Thanks for letting our last great achievement slide into the toilet, baby boomers.

I think I will shed at least one tear during the last launch.
