[Chaos-l] Shuttle launch

[Jim Scarborough]

I have seen a launch from the upper deck at Cameron Village in
Raleigh.  All you need is a clear eastern horizon.  They are easier to
see from Kennedy Space Center (done that twice), but only for the
first two minutes or so :)

The trajectory to ISS (where all remaining Shuttle flights are bound)
makes it go across the eastern sky from southeast to east-northeast.
It looks like a meteor going slow in the wrong direction. :)
