So went up early Sunday morning, Feb 7th, to watch the Space Shuttle Endeavor to go up to the International Space Station, only to have the launch postponed due to low cloud cover. They don’t affect the launch, but they do become a problem in case the Shuttle had to make an emergency landing there. Anyways, despite the lack of launch, I got a few nice pictures :-)

Hopefully I’ll get some time to get back up to Titusville for one of the final 4 launches of the Shuttle Program. Having the ability to see one of these in person is really a great benefit of living in Florida
