And STS-135, Atlantis, is in flight. A very memorable moment in history.

Screen capture of the launch attached.

Cheers

Mick

Didn't get to bed til 2am but it was worth it. It was the first live launch I've seen and I only wish I'd done it sooner.

Just watched it fly past over here at about 1904 AEST for the final time.

Now inside the warmth watching the re-entry and landing of it live.

I live in Wagga Wagga. My 'sighting' of the Shuttle was only for about 15-30 seconds, and it was to the WestSouthWest of Wagga, but is enough for me to have satisfied seeing History in the making
