The SRO console with the manual hold fire switch is in the ROCC. The way that could have prevented all of this was for the range commander to have internally instructed the SRO to give a GO and then the SRO would have placed the switch in the proceed position. Instead the range commander went over the SRO's head and directly to NASA, leaving the SRO in the dark still with a critical task to perform. There is nothing automated about the switch. If the range is NOGO, the SRO puts it in the hold position and the launch can not occur.
Well I got my slides back!Of course there looks to be water marks on the images...I'll refrain from any cuss words that come to mind. Ugh. SO just ignore those...lolI'll only post one to save bandwidth.600mm F4 manual focus, with 1.4 tele, Provia 100 film from the causeway. No touch ups have been done - that's not my way. I don't mind cropping, but don't have that feature on any software at work.

Check out my video of the Launch of STS-133 Discovery as viewed from the Kennedy Space Center, East Causeway.Available in various resolutions including 720p and 1080p HDTurn up the volume to experience the Roar and Crackle, 6 to 7 mile travel-time delay.Sorry for the length (8 minutes). I wanted to include the total experience and tell a story.Spent the 4th of July weekend pulling it together. Had to figure out my video editor, YouTube, etc.Uploaded it just in time before I had to travel to Florida for STS-135. See you there! Enjoy!
