Can I put my personal launch photo up on here?
Do Bears have picnics in the woods? 
Any problems with attachements etc...mail it to me ([email protected]) and I'll sort it out.
These launches are emotionally exhausting to watch! 
I'm glad someone else feels some level of emotional exhaustion
. I thought I was just going crazy/overtired.. lol (been up since 4am in the mountain time zone).

Watching a replay from the beach tracker...seemed to be a debris event above the tank after the shockwave ended. Did anyone else see that?
I saw that on two camera views... one far and another a bit closer... sort of a "puff" at the top of ET... different than the normal vapor shocks around max-Q. (Perhaps going supersonic?) And I thought I saw a bright spot travel down above the tank (on opposite side than the orbiter).

You can say that again. My hand was shaking as I was taking the screencaps.

Here's one- I had to resize it because it was too big- sorry for the delay. This was taken standing at the fence outside the press site.
Awesome picture, mate! It was well worth the wait.

Launch looked pretty clean from the ET camera.

Yep, that is a nice slick tank (at least on the side that matters...
Hope the pix of the tank from the orbiter are as clean, that will be very encouraging.

Yeah I saw the supersonic shockwave puff but the bright spot is what concerned me when I saw it. Glad I'm not alone on the visual!

There's definately a new kind of stress watching launches now compared to before the RTF. I'm much more aware of the risks and the power being harnessed by the fragile vehicle.
I was squeezing the wifes hand until she got angry due to pain!
Couldn't relax until MECO and umbilical doors closing.

I thought I saw a spot on the intertank area that appeared to change color from light to dark after the 'debris event'. Can someone confirm?

I hear ya. I was jumping up and down and pacing around in my apartment the whole way through. Had my dad on the line and making a few exclamations here and there definitely helped!

Probably just the shadows changing as the vehicle pitches yaws and rolls.

Apologies! Glad to hear it was fun. I hope to see one in person before the program is over but being a broke architecture student it's tough! Thanks again for the pic! Pretty spectacular dudette!
Hope the pix of the tank from the orbiter are as clean, that will be very encouraging.
