so i got this bright idea at midnight last night to drive out to titusville and watch the shuttle go up. launch time was 2:28 am. i can’t believe the number of people that go out to watch this. there were low clouds so you really couldn’t see shit after it got about 1 mile or so up. traffic was insane leaving then. we didn’t get home till almost 4:30. anyways, here are the few pics i snapped. ![http://www.hybridynamics.com/uploaded/2/Picture%20018.jpg](http://www.hybridynamics.com/uploaded/2/Picture%20018.jpg) ![http://www.hybridynamics.com/uploaded/2/Picture%20021.jpg](http://www.hybridynamics.com/uploaded/2/Picture%20021.jpg) ![http://www.hybridynamics.com/uploaded/2/Picture%20022.jpg](http://www.hybridynamics.com/uploaded/2/Picture%20022.jpg) ![http://www.hybridynamics.com/uploaded/2/Picture%20023.jpg](http://www.hybridynamics.com/uploaded/2/Picture%20023.jpg) ![http://www.hybridynamics.com/uploaded/2/Picture%20024.jpg](http://www.hybridynamics.com/uploaded/2/Picture%20024.jpg) ![http://www.hybridynamics.com/uploaded/2/Picture%20025.jpg](http://www.hybridynamics.com/uploaded/2/Picture%20025.jpg) ![http://www.hybridynamics.com/uploaded/2/Picture%20026.jpg](http://www.hybridynamics.com/uploaded/2/Picture%20026.jpg) ---

Those pictures rock. I’m sure the phrase “slip the surly bonds of earth” must take on a whole new meaning after seeing that. I wonder how much fossil fuel was burned right there? Do you think it was equivalent to like 27 quadrillion cars? hahahah ---
