Lo, many moons past, on 11 Feb 2004 06:10:35 -0800, a stranger called
by some (bart janssens) came forth and
told this tale in alt.atheism

Did you ever witnessed a Shuttle-launch?

Several. I was stationed in Georgia in the the mid-80s, and arranging
leave days for the launch windows was pretty easy.

Discovery (51-C)

Atlantis (STS-36, I had to see a night launch.. wow)

So I've seen them all launch except Columbia and Endeavour.


Yes. I would swear in a court of law that I saw a STS move away from
the ISS.


Would you swear in a court that the Shuttle disappeared
"behind the horizon", when you saw a launch of a Shuttle?
