Back to the Moon - launch successful
And it's off. I like to watch a launch. Saw New Horizons launch toward Pluto when we were at the Cape a few years ago. That thing did not hang around.
All this coverage makes one wonder how we ever made it to the Moon before without booster-mounted cameras relaying live video,* 3-D animations driven by live tracking data, and carefully crafted mission descriptions delivered at the moment of take-off. Just lucky, I guess.
* No, we didn't have that before. You may be thinking of this:
