    I had been planning my location to photograph this launch on Sunday morning until they postponed it. Had some pressing meetings at work and could not make the Monday launch. It's a 4 hour drive from where I live and hard to commit considering these launches gets canceled quite often for a variety of things. Hope to make the next one. Thanks for posting!

    In the mid 90's I was at Kennedy Space Center for a Shuttle launch with my wife and kids. We were about 40 yards from the countdown clock you see on TV all the time. The clock got down to T-minus 4 minutes for a hold in the countdown. After about 15 minutes word got around the launch was scrubbed. I never made it back to Kennedy for a launch.

    I went down for a shuttle launch around 1999 with my son and was lucky enough to get a special VIP tour because one of my son's neighbors knew one of the astronauts.
    We had great seats and went through three countdowns over the weekend. All three were cancelled because of bad weather on the west coast of Africa which is where they would be rescued if something went wrong. It was pretty disappointing and it was really tense when we drove down again a few months later for the next launch. Luckily we were rewarded with a spectacular launch seven minutes before sunrise on the first countdown. Due to the dawn light we could see the shuttle and the bright flash of the engines and the shuttle rose on a dark black column of exhaust smoke. As the Shuttle rose into the dawn sunlight at cloud levels the column of smoke turned purple and then pink beautiful sunrise colors. Then the shuttle got high enough to receive direct sunlight and the column turned bright white. The rainbow colored column continued upward until the booster engines shut off and separated and the shuttle continued on into the sky and appeared to be a morning star. The exhaust column then slowly fell down on itself and dissipated in the wind. Seeing a launch in person is an incredible experience.

    Today is looking ugly but I moved back to 100% "S". The end of January it looked like the "C & I" funds might make a breakout. WRONG. If I had stayed in "S" I would be up another 3%, but that is water under the bridge. Loosing about 100 shares from January but it is what it is. Good luck everyone.

    Sticky pants on.

    Well jumping from 40/30/30 CSI to 100% "S" lost me 130 shares but lets hope I didn't shoot myself in the foot. Still positive MTD and YTD so I can't really complain.
