John's Trip Comments
A major highlight was viewing the STS-98 rocket launch to the International Space Station on Feb 7, 2001. For those visiting Florida, try to make this part of your vacation as it truly is a sight to behold. You have to be fortunate to witness as the time of day, weather conditions, and background colors must all be in your favor.
John`s Recollections
The voices on the video display the emotions felt when this rocket lifted off the space pad. One of our special moments in a lifetime. If in the area, check the launch times and make that special effort to attend.
