beautiful launch

STS-122 rocketed away without a hitch! Repaired tank sensor system worked flawlessly (to latter burn up on return to Earth). The weather cooperated both at the launch and emergency landing sites.

My thoughts were with Toronto Centre RASC members Eric, Phil, Katrina, Scott, and Shawn. They were rewarded for their efforts! Can't wait to hear their reports...

Eric emailed us later:

It was great!  We managed to get out to the NASA Causeway so we were able to see the pad and the shuttle and everything.  We all got great pictures and video and look forward to showing them at an upcoming Members Night.

I'm jealous...
