I had a long two days, but saw the launch this morning. Suffice it to say for now that I'm both amazed that they didn't launch yesterday, and angry that they waited until an hour before liftoff to make the decision. More later.

I just came back from taking a walk out at a nearby park by my work (I work deep nights). I just saw a huge fireball fall from the sky! It lasted 5-6 seconds and was orangish-white suggesting that it was skimming the atmosphere rather then falling straight in. It clearly had a stream of sparks and molten material falling away from it. I wanna say it started at nearly 60 degrees of elevation from underneath the moon at approximaltely 5:15 a.m. Dallas, CST. It fell at an angle all the way down to the horizon tracking from southeast to northeast.

Anyone else see this?

I go out of my way, all the time, to witness meteor showers. This lasted much longer and was much brighter than any "shooting star" or "bolide". What do you think the odds are that it had anything to do with the Shuttle launch? Any other recent launches that could contribute?

Congrats, Rand. I'm hoping to get to see the next launch, since I missed this one.

As I said in another post, I was 3 miles from Space View Park when I heard they cancelled.
