I believe they said we were about 20 miles out. We left port around 5 and the shuttle launched at 7:45-ish. I think the real time was 7:42 or 7:43. Something like that.
It was awesome. We were standing at deck 10 aft along with just about everyone else on the ship!There were a lot of people down on deck 9 aft also. They played the shuttle launch on the ariel view television and had the sound playing on speakers so we could hear on deck 10 aft. It was awesome to hear the countdown on the speakers and then to look up and actually see the shuttle going up.
My dad was on deck 9 aft against the railing and videotaped the whole thing. I recorded part of it on my camera as well.
We saw it from our backyard....and we live in Fort Luaderdale....2.5 hours away. Have seen one up close too so i am sure it is cool out on the ship.
