Last night the Endeavor was launched successfully at 8:55 p.m. We walked down to the foot bridge over a fork of the Loxahatchee River and watched the launch. Imagine! We can see it from 60 miles away! First, the sky lit up as though there was a forest fire in the northern sky. Then the "rocket" appeared, and we watched it arc and start its journey. That's the little light in the sky of my pic. I took a bit of video, but I believe the picture is just as dramatic. We watched until it disappeared below the horizon. Wish I had taken my tripod; I could have done better.
