night lauches are so cool
-
I like Day and Night Launches both. However, it's amazing how the whole sky lights up when the shuttle goes off at night. I seen this launch 80 miles away beautifully lit up the whole sky. Living in Florida especially the cental part you have the advantage of seeing the shuttle go up.

No, this is STS-116. Bill Oefelein, pilot; Joan Higginbotham, Nicholas Patrick and European Space Agency astronaut Thomas Reiter, mission specialists, astronauts Mark Polansky, commander; Sunita Williams, Expedition 14 flight engineer; ESA astronaut Christer Fuglesang and Robert Curbeam, mission specialists.

theres nobody piloting the launch, its all automated from what i understand
-
well, I respectfully disagree. Piloting any craft is inherently more difficult at night, plus the illumination from the SRBs is more brilliant.
-
Personally I perfer launches during the day time and they are more exciting
-
those things are awesome at night.

Actually, in the remaining 5 minutes to orbit, the shuttle will reach approximately 17,500 MPH.
