Shuttle Endeavour

I am watching the last launch of Endeavour. I'll post the pics as soon as possible.

Hold at 9:00 minutes. About to be released. Now.

Launch occurred normally. Now in orbit before OMS burn. Pictures taken and now need to be processed. I'll be back with those later.

The above are in chronological order from 9 minute hold to the clearing of the tower.  The next pics will be until external tank released- also in chronological order.

Mission control after ET sep

 And that's it.  It is very fast.  Under ten minutes to orbit.  Just two minutes for srb sep.  This thing happens faster than this computer can take a picture and get back to the screen.  Fast.  Or my computer is slow.  Yeah, probably that.
