Space Shuttle Launch Experience

Way cool man... Blogging all the way to the space!

That looks like a lot of fun. I'll have to try that next time I'm in Florida.

Great video. Did you get video of the launch? Looks like something Disney would put together.

I cannot wait to take my family to Florida next spring. Your story sounds like soo much fun! It makes me want to blast off into space!

Video looks cool , when do you venture into space ? looking forward for the video of your journey in space :)

you know .... my brother went to space camp I just stayed home cutting grass. Curse you brother, curse you!!!! But not anymore, I'm heading to FL to be an astro-nut.

The ride is actually pretty corny, and wasn't worth the time wasted waited in line for it..

John,

That is cool!
This is one of my dream to be fulfilled in the future.

Great job! When are you going to get into the "real" orbit?

Haha thats great! Its like a Warez cam of the launch lol. That ride looks cool, I would love to go if I am ever in the area. Thanks for sharing!

Sounds like quite some fun out there. NASA will be happy that you took this video, as everybody loves free ads. (You may even get paid later with some handy commission from them)

That's awesome John! I've always wanted to see a launch myself... just never got down to actually going to do it.

I'm going to have to check that out, I'm only 45 minutes away. The video was awesome.

wow, that sounded like fun. wish I could have a look at that one day.

That would be supper fun. I've never been there.

thank you, at least i can experience it too.. :D
breaking the rule, there is a leak.. NASA what you gonna do?
somebody gonna get hurt real bad.. haha

thank again..

Last time I went to the space center I was 10 years old. Definitely need to go back now.

RULE BREAKER!!! I'm going to contact NASA and link them to this post! :P

That looks so cool, I am so going there next time I visit Florida.

Yeah, looks great, I'm sure you enjoyed. Well done on sneaking the camera in for the introduction anyway.

Hope you enjoyed your time in Flordia! I figured you'd be filming the women at the beach. ;)

Almost every time I think of NASA, I think of The Challenger & Columbia Shuttle Disasters. What awful ways to go. I just hope that all of the astronauts died fast. It's nice to see that NASA are taking huge precautions with future launches now.

Also John - you should check out Virgin Galatic. It's Richard Branson's newest creation. The seats are $200,000 a piece & people will be in space for a total of six minutes. They'll be floating around as well!

John that was very cool. How was the overall experience with the launching?

Wow that was neat. The video quality on vimeo is wonderful. :D

Nice...way to put yourself out there for us...
I was born in Florida and I've lived here my whole life, except for the 6 years I spent in the Navy and I have never been to the space center....is that sad?

w00t that was awesome!
loved it!

I've been on the same ride John, it's really cool. Take it in people, it's supposed to be surprising accurate and it's well worth it for the price of the ticket.

You're becoming a regular outlaw. First stealing t-shirts, then stealing all those Jones Soda's, and now video taping something you aren't supposed to be video taping.

If you're not careful, you might be riding a real space shuttle. When they decide to send you up in one to stay. ha.ha. :)

Wow, this is so cool! I wish I can be there...

I would not of been surprised if this post was about you going on a real shuttle. you'll be at that mega-rich, space tourist level soon, right? lol.

;)

Sean.

I was really getting in to that. It's a shame you couldn't record inside the actual simulator.

How long did the whole ride last, John?

Looks like an awesome experience. But like you said, probably far from a real launch.
