Pictures of Space Shuttle launch?

[NikkiLovesWDW!]

Does anyone have pictures to share of the July 4th Space Shuttle launch? From what I've been reading, it sounds like it was really amazing to see from almost anywhere in WDW.

Nikki-
Love the picture of the castle, did you take it? Where were you at when you took it?

The shuttle picture is wonderful too- so glad it took off without a hitch- hope the return is just as good..

Thanks! Yes I took it! I took it on the bridge from Tomorrowland. It was actually a lot lighter out than it looks in the picture. That's the trick! It was taken from a 35mm also. I try to get one like it every time I go.

DH found an amazing video on the "www dot nasa.gov" site of the Solid Rocket Booster on liftoff. The camera is attached to the Solid Rocket Booster. It looks towards Earth as it takes off and then when the space shuttle separates from it, the solid rocket booster (fuel tank?) spins back towards earth (you see the clouds, then the earth horizon, then the sun, and it continues to spin), then you see the parachute shadow and the landing in the Atlantic ocean. It's about 9-10 minutes long. Amazing video! DD was bored, but DS's and I thought it was pretty cool!
