So glad you went! Sorry we didn’t meet up but it was fun knowing another fellow SFer was there to experience such an awesome thing. Great write-up Scott! My dad pointed out the bald eagle’s nest too. So wild.

The footage of the launch is absolutely spectacular! I especially liked seeing the space shuttle shooting through the clouds – wonderful colors and lighting effects. All of your photos are so clear and crisp – great photography skills and equipment. You are soooo fortunate to have been “invited” with access so close to the launch, WOW….

I would love to go into the VAB, but I doubt they would allow access so close to a launch. We did drive around it.

I so would have loved to have been there! Thanks for sharing with us.

Did you get to go in the VAB? I remember touring it during the Apollo program, it was a most impressive building. Hard to fathom its size. Although the inside of the two huge former Navy Zeppelin hangers (in Akron and Sunnyvale) were, in some ways, more impressive (though not as large) given that they are one large room, whereas the VAB is many. But from the outside…
