The Minotaur 1 Rocket launched a record setting 29 satellites. Not to be out done a rocket was launched in southern Russia a few days later carrying 32 satellites.
Here's a birds eye view of the launch.

Stunning pictures Bryan. How exciting to witness such a thing.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pat. These were forwarded to me by a friend from work. Back in 2006-2007 I spent 6 months down at Cape Canaveral, Florida and witnessed multiple rocket launches up close and personal. The biggest impact is that you can actually feel the power of the launch in your chest. I was lucky enough to see a night launch of the space shuttle.
