Space Shuttle over Ireland

[blobbyblob]

Anyone see it?

I have to say that the sight of the rocket and boosters just after take off was fairly breath taking. was in the sky for a good 60 seconds from where i was.Sky couldn't have been better.

Pity it wasn't better advertised

Saw it from here in Florida, from a beach about two hundred miles north of Kennedy. Spectacular as usual.

the one in black is the Rose of Sligo SI.

How come Ireland always looks so clear in photos from space, when it never really is that clear!! In that first one Ireland looks huge almost bigger than GB!

Saw it tonight at 23:15, just like a moving star. Could see it for about 2minutes before the clouds covered it.
