Space shuttle Atlantis - Launch

It was there pending in our agenda for long time since we reached Orlando. Planned to visit atleast one Rocket launch in NASA before leaving Orlando. I never dreamt about seeing a rocket launch live in NASA in my lifetime. hmm.... somehow it came true. I feel something great when i was standing and watching the countdown.

We started from orlando in Koti's Car (TCS colleague) at 5.15pm, went and picked Chakradhar (Consultant - now working for TCS in HDS) in LYNX central station (Bus Depot), Zoomed to Collonial drive road, switched to 408 Interstate as heavy traffic in Collonial, drove some 8 miles, again caught collonial, passed trough petrolbunk to avoid signals and traffic (thereby saving some 5 mins) and moved at 10mph for about 40 mins and finally we reached Lauch view park in Titussville just 4mins before the Launch.

Oh God... No Parking space. But we didn't waste time here. Just locked the car whereever we are and headed for the countdown. 5....4....3....2....and Zoom.... It went with lot of power and glory. It formed its own cloud and pierced the sky.

As the shuttle disappeared from sight, it left behind a magnificent view.
