Have fun. I want to make one of those someday. I was hoping they would do the west coast launches but that never happened.

alright, home again I am. was pretty awesome sight to behold.

rest of the pics are here: http://users.theville.org/kahlan/launch

movies in order are (apologize for the shaking) liftoff

slight delay here, since I wasn't paying attn to the cam, and didn't realize it had stopped recording

going up

going gone <--might have some of the specs of debris falling off, I can't see it in the movie, seen it from the ground though

crowd friend talking

(some of the pics are really crooked, I apologize, was holding my dog on a leash and she kept trying to attack a really big dog, then little kids, then the dog again... was fun. not too good balancing either lol.
