Another shot of a Space Shuttle launch from 2000 as seen from the Melbourne, Florida area. Here the Shuttle is just emerging from a cloud (or from behind one).

This is one of the Space Shuttle launches in 2000. I forget which mission this was. I could see the shuttle launches from where I live but we got a little closer for this one.

Promoter urges NASA to fly space shuttle over his air show

Rather than schedule the Cocoa Beach Air Show during its usual time slot in late October, he moved the event to mid-September in hopes that the timing would coincide with the transfer of shuttle Endeavour from Kennedy Space Center to a Los Angeles museum.

NASA is arguing that it would cost too much money to alter the schedule by a couple of days so that there could be a flyover of the shuttle at the air show. I find this hard to believe unless they are doing it wrong.

2000-10-10 - STS-92 (100) scrubbed

via youtube.com

Launch attempt of the Space Shuttle Discovery. Unfortunately, the launch was scrubbed at 6:25 p.m. due to the discovery at around the T-minus 3 hour mark of a pin, typically used to secure handrails at the launch pad, that was lodged on a strut connecting the orbiter and the External Tank. The launch the following night was awesome though. - http://8c6645e3.tinylinks.co
