This is one of those events that, for me, exemplifies the contrast between technical achievement and artistic expression.

It's unparalleled artistry. Good Luck and Godspeed Endeavour! Jim

One of the local crew had a radio tuned to the NASA com channel, and we stood out there, listening to the chatter leading up to takeoff, and then saw the bird rising up over the trees. We watched until MECO (Main Engine Cutoff), and then the crew chief hollered "Break's over - back to work!" Very very cool. Thanks for posting the video!
