Our goal is to watch the launch of STS-130 Endeavour
This mission started at the vehicle assembly building
The shuttle waits on pad 39A
Over on pad 37 an Atlas V rocket waits for later in the week
The moon is rising
Next night --Here we are again--There are clouds, but they are dissipating.
Ignition
Liftoff
We've cleared the tower
Roll program commences
We couldn't see these clouds before the shuttle lit them up
Solid rocket booster separation
The pad is empty and it is time to get back on the bus
