Doesn't look like I'll get to go to this one, not unless it delays. Bummer, I haven't seen a night launch since August 2009 with Discovery.

Yup, it launched a few seconds before my 15th birthday, August 29th too.

I've seen quite a few space shuttle launches.

Launch Pics

Some pictures of the launch. Apologies for the poor quality - compact camera, plus dusk conditions, plus fielding the kids (and wife). I also have a video, which, if I can remove the expert commentary ("ooh look, it just went 'poof'!"), I'll upload to YT.

Many thanks to Kyle for the viewing location suggestion.
