Shuttle Nite Launch

[Harry Behret]

Hi Y'all,

I was able to get a VIP pass for NASA's recent shuttle launch. It was an absolutely incredible sight to behold.

The VIP area is about 3 miles from the launch site. Usually I'm about 12 miles away so this was a special occasion for me.

The site I was on is on the Banana River and fortunately from that spot vibrations were not a major issue.

The action in Viera is finally picking up. They had sprayed the wetlands for mosquittos but used an insecticide that was too strong. They also killed off most of the fish and crayfish too. I was told that three woodstorks died from eating the fish.

It seems to have worn off now and the activity levels are returning to normal. Would to see y'all if you get up here.
