Discovery Roars
At 5:02 pm EDT, Space shuttle Discovery roared into the atmosphere on a 14 day mission.
I was standing on the A Max Brewer Memorial Parkway, CR 402 which goes out to Canaveral National Seashore and Cape Canaveral.
After living in FL for 26 years (to the day!), I finally had the opportunity to witness a launch from less than 10 miles away.
What a treat. That was a nice B-day present.
I had wanted to see the launch up close since we moved to FL.
I highly recommend it. Not only was I able to view this fantastic spectacle, but I could hear the roar of the engines.
We were about 8 miles from the Launch pad to the West.
This is where I was standing.
So many people were parked and crowded at all the bridges and small parks. The traffic was horrendous, the sun a scorcher and all the great spots were taken. But it was still worth the travel time and traffic hassles.
Next time I will know where to park.
