Shpilkus Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Atlas V with 5 solid boosters took off this afternoon, carrying NASA's Juno mission to Jupiter. Here's a shot from what I like to call the 'Auxiliary Launch Viewing Area', better known as my backyard: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shpilkus Posted August 6, 2011 Author Share Posted August 6, 2011 By the way, she was very fast off the pad and very LOUD compared to shuttle launched. Rumbled for several minutes and shook our big north-facing picture window pretty majorly. (We're around 22 miles south of complex 41). I took video but it didn't come out (stupid phone).

Our stupid government only gives CAD $424.6 million a year to them. WE were the third country to put a satellite into space, the Alouette 1. (reading wikipedia)But we've never launched any rockets due to money, money, money.Also, did you hear about Bethesda suing Mojang? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
