In honor of Atlantis’ final launch this morning, CNN did a cool little video of 135 NASA launches in 135 seconds. I’m still bummed I never got to see one go up live— I’ve been to Cape Canaveral to tour the whole place, and that was great. A couple of summers, we went down for a launch, but it got scrubbed due to bad weather (and several subsequent attempts afterward).
Today, at Centerline, a bunch of us watched the launch in HD, and I thought that was really nice, but would still have loved to be on the Cape (or near it) for at least one of the shuttle’s many launches.
Here’s to hoping I get to see whatever eventually replaces it.
