Shuttle Night Launch Pics

Here are a few from my perspective out on the runway















It's amazing what wind and ocean currents can do, this is a shot of the recovery of the two Solid Rocket Boosters at sea. They were jettisoned several miles up and when they went into the ocean the currents brought them so close to each other the recovery team had to go out and keep them apart. I don't think this has ever happened before.

Sorry, I can't take credit for the pics. I pulled them off the NASA website at work. What you see is what I see from the runway with my binoculars. Those pics are taken by cameras that are mounted out by the launchpad.

No one is that close at launch time.
