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)

Discovery (51-D)

Challenger (51-B)

Challenger (51-G)

Discovery (51-I)

Atlantis (51-J, maiden flight)

Challenger (51-L, Keep the Dream Alive!)

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?

Actually, we always had my telescope along. We followed it all the
way to SRB seperation. After that, it quickly became hard to track.
But I was told that at night launches you could see it shut down
engines. The next night we could spot the shuttle in orbit (depending
on the orbital track)

I would stand up in court, and swear I had seen the Shuttle launch
into orbit seven times. I was present for an eigth launch, but the
shuttle was destroyed 67 seconds after launch. Saw that clearly..
shudder.

SO, you dot not swear that the Shuttle disappeared
"behind the horizon", when you saw a launch of a Shuttle,
because the Shuttle DID NOT DISAPPEAR BEHIND THE HORIZON!
