Space Shuttle Discovery launch

We were lucky enough to be around when the shuttle was launching, although we were about 40 miles away. It was still incredibly bright and larger than the size of a big sunset. We did not hear anything, but it was still quite an amazing thing to witness in person.

It was neat to see how the colour of the fire (?) changed as the fuel changed (according to my bro).

This was about the last visible point before it was too difficult to see. It seemed to fly away horizontally rather than straight up. I'm not sure why...
