Default Re: VIDEOs-NASA-Mars Test Spaceship Returns to Earth>Makes Splashdown

I've seen that Delta Heavy launch down in Florida, it's a biggy, but nothing like the Space Shuttle. I've seen the space shuttle go up several times. Really miss it going up anymore.
As far as this Orion launch goes, the way I see it, it was a wasted trip. If they'd ask me, I'd volunteered to go up in it. That would have been some ride. They most likely though would have had a hard time cleaning it out though. Riding an airplane makes me sick. It would have still taken that ride though......uggh gettin a little nausea thinking about it....lol

This is a picture I took in Feb. 2008 of the last shuttle I got to see go up. According to Street Atlas, drawing a straight line from were I was to the launch pad, it was 13 miles. Even at that distance you could hear and lightly feel the rumble of the rocket engines. The other pic is a night launch of an Atlas rocket. I used to spend the month of Feb. in Florida to catch some launches. Just a side note not meaning to take away from your post.
