Yesterdays launch

[saul]

Did I notice a couple of bits come off the&nbsp;shuttle during the later stage of the launch yesterday, when travelling about 5M/s? Probably my eyes. I'd like to watch that launch again to see if I can spot what it was. Maybe just the break up of pixels in my player. Wish I'd downloaded it to look again. NASA TV have only a portion of the video on their website <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

I won't split hairs as I didn't look at the actual time into launch</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://sitelife.space.com/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-innocent.gif" border="0" alt="Innocent" title="Innocent" /></p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
