Default Space Shuttle Atlantis Launches!

Quote:
CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida (AP) -- Space shuttle Atlantis and its six astronauts blasted off Saturday into space to rendezvous with the orbiting International Space Station and install new equipment.
After two weeks of frustrating delays, the shuttle rose from its seaside launch pad through a partly cloudy sky at 11:15 a.m. ET

Dang I completly missed the launch. Does anybody know where I can get a high quality version of the launch instead off CNN's low res crap?

Cheers

I looked for it, but missed it due to localized cloud cover

This was supposed to be one of if not the heaviest payload a Space Shuttle has ever carried, at 17 tons. It carried a piece of the International Space Station.

I remember way back when ISS was in its infancy and I was going through the ISS exhibit here at the Kennedy Space Center and seeing the workers assemble actual parts and modules of ISS.

Sometimes at night if you time it right or look on the NASA website for flyover times, you can see ISS flying overhead.
