What a great day! I was there in the VIP section ... this is a great example of why our Country very much needs to keep this growing - not retire it!

Godspeed, STS-129! Thanks, KSC, for uploading separate videos of the launch - I love to share launch videos with family & friends, but people may lose interest with an 11-minute video. This short clip is great for showing what America can do!
