A night time lift off. Now that would be something to see.
I will turn on the NASA channel. Will they be showing the take off live?

I hope one of the astronauts will have a bad tummy ache tonight and they will ask me to go in his place!!! Just in case they don't call, I set the alarm clock to wake me for the blastoff. That would be a serious ride with some heavy horsepower.

Yep. Live from strap in to SRB separation to MFT release to secure orbit. It's riveting.

Normally I would hear the launch, but last night I sleep through it all. Still trying to recover from Bike Week.
