[SpaceManTed]

<p>Hey everyone, I'm new here to the community and what brought me here is that I have some questions about tonights launch. What exactly can I see in this video? THere's a tail, changing colors from orange to white, and some darkness inbetween. Was this the stages? It was really cool, so i posted it on youtube. Not many people get to see a launch from florida. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4de-ubfkP78<br /> <br /> <br /> I recorded this from my driveway, i thought I would share it with the community. I couldn't hear anything b/c there was a huge carnival going on across the street from my house so I changed the sound to some florida reggae &nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <br /><img id="28c24d68-93d5-4b16-bb47-a5decc4198df" src="http://sitelife.space.com/ver1.0/Content/images/store/8/11/28c24d68-93d5-4b16-bb47-a5decc4198df.Large.gif" alt="blog post photo" />ask me about my stage 3 rally wrx </div>

How good is my WAG? (Wild A#% Guess)</p><p><br /><br />&nbsp;</p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

My team on the NASA cause way saw the clouds at sundown and they also saw that the plume was different at SRB sep. The ET cam video shows that the vehicle went thru thin clouds just before SRB sep.</p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
