I just finished watching Atlantis head into orbit. We're over 200 miles south of the Space Center, but it was a bright, clear, cold (60 degrees) morning with unlimited visibility to the north, so we could see the flame below the shuttle and the column of smoke behind it up until SRB separation. And that was almost 20 degrees above the horizon. Not as good as watching getting a pass and watching it from the Cape, but still lots of fun. -- Greg Hullender / 3511 NE 22nd Av./Ft.
