    Launch of Space Shuttle Discovery

    By KWceleste  |  Posted August 29, 2009  |  Vero Beach, Florida
     

    This video is the view of space shuttle Discovery's 08/29/2009 launch as seen from Vero Beach, Florida.  My husband, daughter, and I brought a laptop outside so we could listen to commentary on spaceflightnow.com, and then videotaped the shutle once we were able to see it.

    The first live launch my husband Mike ever saw was Discovery.  The first live shuttle launch I ever saw was Discovery, the return to flight after the Challenger accident.  Oddly enough, the first live flight my daughter Cori [age 5] ever saw was Discovery, the return to flight after the Columbia accident.  So, although we hold NASA's space program dear, Discovery is extremely special to all three of us.
