I know! It's really cool!

I remember seeing my first one when I was about 12! It was amazing!

What makes me sad is that there is sometimes lack of interest in my 'hood. I guess that is the situation elsewhere as well.

But, I'll go out there and look to the east. A few neighbors are out there, but not (IMHO) enough. Those of us outside find a point to focus and then we get SOOOOOOO excited when we see it, and even more excited when we see the separation.

I feel sorry for those who miss this experience. It is a wonder.

It is sad
I try to get my kids to come outside and watch it but they're more interested in other things

And why I miss it. I loved watching the shuttle go up right before sunset. Then the clouds would turn all sort of wonderful hues as the sun set past the horizon. Beautiful!

If they'd launch one anywhere near my 'hood*, plenty of people would be interested!





*my hood is Chicago
