has anyone here ever witnessed a space shuttle launch in person?

Is this a trick?

yeah

a petition to make a community board should be made so pakula can ignore it.

the following posters can post their uninteresting community garbage there:

a while ago, i hated sleeper for example, but i've realised that it is pretty interesting to see this obviously handicapped person try to lead his life. the people mentioned above are not funny, not interesting people, not smart and none of them struggle with life. they are nothing at all and should be removed, just like boring characters in a drama on television. they are here because of the community and the only reason they get positive feedback from anyone is because the people in the community sucks each others dicks and/or clits. the community must be removed in order to assure that i stay here.

clit

there's a couple of transsexuals there.

i'm hardcore and ********** don't really fit into that list. ********** maybe

Crying with laughter is the best.

you have bardy? anyone else?

no this is not a trick

so i guess we can assume you'll be leaving. perfect

do you travel around in a borg cube?

that's just silly

they are tricky to use in more trafficated areas but if you're out on the freeway in the middle of the night.... it also comes with a free warranty that allows you to get a completely new borg cube if the assimilation equipment isn't working.

yeah that summer I was in florida they launced some shuttle up. I don't remember which one but it was in 200....5

here we go again.

hey dean, who are your favourite/interesting people on Netphoria?

I get to watch it every time it takes off, just walk outside and look east.

I am jealous. I hope I get to see it at least once before 2010 comes.

Night launches were the best, they don't really do them anymore.

How about the sound? How close do you live?

I can't imagine what must be hearing the roar in person like.

I'm probebly somewhere around 50 miles away if not more. No sound, but at night it looks armageddon. The entire horizon looks like it's on fire, bright whiote and orange with lots of smoke.

Shuttle landings are the bad part. The sonic boom when it flies over moves the house. It feels like a car crashed into the house. Really fun at 3am.

that's from my town to the cape, straight line would be about 45-50 miles I guess.

whats all the empty space, swamp land?

Swamp,woods, orange groves, and cattle.

its whatever you want it to be

I've seen the shuttle launch more than a few times but up close only once. It's impressive how bright that fucker is at night even clear across the state in Tampa.

No, I just witnessed a space shuttle explosion in person.

yes. years ago.
