The shuttle launch was scheduled for 6:21 AM. So, naturally you have to take the bus that drops you off at the Kennedy space center at around 4:30 AM.  THAT bus – it leaves the hotel at 4:10 AM… and THAT bus at THAT hotel is 45 minutes away. so ya gotta leave at 3:15 AM… guess who didn’t get up at 2:45 AM when the alarm went off.

ME!!!! I woke up at 3:12! So my buddy Colin and I got dressed, packed, and in the car in about 8 minutes and BOOKED it down to Cape Canaveral and made it in time for the bus, and more importantly- the LAUNCH!!!!! : )

The streak of light in the top left of this picture is the International Space Station passing over in it’s orbit, just minutes before the launch. Way cool.

I had the opportunity to run around with a camera over my shoulder and get some photos, and missed my usual monday/tuesday blog update. Here are a few of those images.
