man that walks on moons.
Lol
I live in Florida. I've seen them launch. It's Biblical.
Oh, I know we launch all sorts of shit and it's incredible.
A night launch of one of those shuttles... STS 80 or something... was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen in the night sky.
The comet Hyukataki was #1. That fucking thing was beyond amazing. 1997 or 8. I forget, but I saw it with big binoculars. I saw it coming in. I saw it coming close. I watched it every night for a month. Night after night it got brighter and closer. Night after night I set up powerful binoculars on a stand in the backyard to watch it. It was Amazing. Oddly enough, there was another comet in the news at the same time. Hale-Bopp. I saw Hale-Bopp too, but it was (merely) a cottonball in the early morning and late evening sky.
Then, when it was supposed to be at it's closest approach, I was very disappointed. I went out after dark and set the binoculars in their stand....and saw nothing. Until...
