• I watched the RSS rollback from Port Canaveral on the 1st attempt of STS-134, after those two nasty hail & lightning storms that evening.  Even though the launch got scrubbed the following day, seeing the shuttle get revealed like that was awesome and I am glad I got to experience that.
  
  Those tweetup folks have an amazing view!

  BTW, anyone observing at the pad, we should be venting to the flare stack soon.

  They come off during launch, Often see them fly off from the minicam replay inside the Shuttle.
