Space Sation Sightings

[Steve Anderson]

I grew up in Florida, and "watched" the launches of the 60s and 70s from our
home in central Florida. We were maybe 90 miles away by road, and still
could see the flames from the big rockets of those days. During the
nighttime launches, the flame in the sky was about the same of your
thumbnail. Also just as amazing to me was watching the shuttle go overhead
in AZ at night. It took a little over a minute for the shuttle to cross the
sky. I did go to a shuttle launch at the Cape in the 90s, and it was stopped
within 10 seconds of launch due to main engine failure. Maybe I will try
again in the future. For now I will try to see the Space Station from Oahu:
