No, it's not too loud on take off...but when it returns it is a sonic boom! The first time we heard it I thought a bomb went off!

Those sure are something, huh?  I grew up in a town that has an aviation convention every summer and have all different types of aircraft that come.  I remember during that week, many times as a kid, hearing sonic booms from the Concord Jet.  It would shake the foundation of our house!

Oh Steph, that is soooo cool.  Thanks for sharing it with us.  I bet you will be teaching your son all about it when the time comes.  That's awesome!!!

That's so cool, Jazmine! I think if I remember right you responded to me when I was asking about places to live in Orlando and I think we are in the same town!

We are about 40 minutes or so from the cape. It is not too loud on take off, but really loud upon return!

Aw I miss living in Orlando.  I remember moving to Orlando from NY.  It was the coolest experience in the world to see the shuttle.  That picture is awesome!

Here is another pic we took a few minutes after the shuttle went by. It really lights up the sky for quite a while!

I remember seeing it on my way home from work. It was one of the best launches I have seen, the colors were so pretty!
