I wish my camera recorded sound too, because 45 seconds after launch, the wave of sound and power hit us like a freight train.  Was certainly a humbling experience...

Amazing. Not quite as humbling as an earthquake that you can't keep balance but I'm still awestruck by the power that comes from those rockets.

Thanks, great pics! I saw it live last night, perfect timing in Oz, 1100pm. I thought my heart would burst from the tension, I'd be even worse being there. HD NASA tv on the iPad is sweet!

Yeah man, they're aiming for July 8.  Let me know if you're gonna make the trek and I'll meet up with ya!  As you can see, my spot is pretty sick
