columbia

Two weeks ago, I went outside to watch Columbia take off. I even went back in to drag a couple of young coworkers outside--their first launch. And even from our parking lot 50 miles away we saw the length of the intense orange flame. One of my techs jumped up and down, clapping her hands.

So this morning I walked into Winter Park for breakfast. I looked through the leaves and fronds, up to the sky--why no pair of sonic booms?
