    Just watched the launch online with my little girl… She didn’t know how loaded her comment was: “Bye, Space Shuttle!”

    Awe-inspiring stuff. Shame there’s only one left and no real replacement on the horizon. I saw one launch about 12 years ago – the Discovery I think – nothing compares to the ground shaking thunder of a launch. I don’t have words to describe it properly, but thinking about it still sends shivers down my spine. Amazing stuff.
