May 14, 2010 -- With other members of SFWA, I viewed the final launch of space shuttle Atlantis from the NASA Causeway, 6-7 miles from the launch pad. About 100 SF writers who were gathered in Cocoa Beach for the Nebula Awards attended the launch as NASA guests. I shot this with a Sony camcorder on a tripod; but I decided from the get-go that I cared more about experiencing the launch than about getting a great video--so that accounts for the occasional lapses in tracking. The experience was electrifying; the video can only suggest the excitement we all felt.
