We did some dinner at Yen Yens which is the best Chinese food on the Space Coast and is close up there in Cocoa Beach.....then off to the beach with our 4 kids and another family with 3 more. A perfect night in the 60's and just a few high clouds. The kids run around having a great time while the adults chat and wait which seems like forever. Then suddenly the sky is a glow like if you ever saw a big nighttime fire in the distance ...within seconds there it is the shuttle's flames a bright orange extending out across the horizon. It heads up and east slowly turning more yellow. Within 30 seconds it exhaust becomes more dim but it's tail remains bright like the brightest star you have ever seen. Another minute passes and now you are looking due east rather than up and faintly you can see the tanks fall away. Now it is but a fading star when finally the engine noise begins to shutter the air mixing with the breaking waves and the kids chatter. A wonderful Florida evening.
