We Have Lift Off

Despite the cold we enjoyed watching the shuttle go up. We began our trek again to the space center on bus about ten pm. There were about a quarter of the people as the night before. We were able to enjoy walking around the space center and shopping as well as the IMAX. We did not do any of the rides.The Space Center has really changed and I would love to come back just to do that. We were nervous right to the end about the shuttle going up because up until very close to the launch conditions were similar to the previous morning. As liftoff occurred the base of the shuttle ignited and smoke filled the sky and the ground shook and you could feel the vibrations. It was worth the inconveniences for two days.
