5... 4... 3... 2... 1...
... lift-off
 Given that I goofed up both cameras and missed the moment of launch (  ) recovering in time to get that was nothing short of miraculous.Best. Photo. Ever. And far too good not to share - even with the slightly wonky horizon (which I'll fix when I get home).

Horizons off... *runs*
Must have been amazing to see. Its something I've always wanted to see. So symbolic of man blasting off into the stars, the future etc.

6 miles, and not very, even though the sound suppression water system failed. Was plenty audible though which is quite something from 6 miles away - imagine the sound system required for that.
Would have been even better had I actually been able to record it (wanted to time how long it took for the sound to reach me). Might be something on YouTube I guess. PS - just for Pete - I fixed the horizon (but haven't uploaded it yet).
