Thumbs up
whooooooo hoooooooo what a spectacular launch

I so love being able to just walk outside and see it

cheers and applause from all of us out in the road

the twilight also enabled us to get an amazing view of the boosters separating

way to go NASA and may they have a successful mission and safe return

I watched it too!

We rarely see the launches live here in Oz, but this time they broadcast the whole thing on TV. Yay!
