SPACE SHUTTLE DISCOVERY LAUNCH - STS-131 APRIL 5, 2010 @ 621am EST

GOOOD MORNING! on April 5th, 2010. This is the second of 5 left Space Shuttle Launches for the program. So lets just enjoy them and pray this country makes the right moves to stay in front of the Space Frontier. Obama will be here in the space coast on April 15th, so lets see what he was to say now.
Enjoy this video taken from just 3 miles away from PAD 39A near the VAB parking lot. You can hear the ROAR of the crowd to my right at 1:43 and the many CAR Alarms go off at 1:51. Since there wasn't much wind it was VERY LOUD. I almost heard it KICK IN around 1:11 like it had hit my face!

disclaimer: i'm not going for video perfection... i just point and shoot as I watch it myself and my expressions and words are all what I wanna say at the moment it occurs. Silly or not... thats just me.
