    Space Shuttle over Ireland

    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
    Who is this guy, Trapper Tony?

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

    Did you ever notice that in every painting of Adam & Eve, they have belly buttons. Think about that...take as long as you want.

    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!

    I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.

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