As many times as we've seen the space shuttle launches on TV, generally a ground view watching the column of fire and smoke rise into the air, I don't think I've seen it from the air before. This clip was caught by a passenger on a jet, which just happened to be passing by in range to see the Discovery make its last trip into space.

I got a black and white copy of the Reef Runner cover for an ad in RT Book Reviews, and there are changes. I don't have a color copy yet, but I'll post it when I do.

Best luck with Reef Runner. I see the ocean is a big part of your books. How did you come to be this way?
Wow amazing video. When my son was about ten, I took him for a special trip to see a space launch. It was postponed! And so were the nest two he went to see. I'm sending him this video. Thanks.
Thank you, ma'am!
As to the ocean, I think the fact that I'm landlocked probably has something to do with that. Plus I have an interest in sailing ships and sunken treasure. Getting to actually visit the coast only helped reinforce the fascination. That much water in motion is both awe-inspiring and energizing.
Yes I agree about the water.
