Power Up - a photo on Flickriver

Power Up

            After two last second scrubs a few months ago, ULA's Delta IV Heavy finally launches into the stars carrying the secretive NROL-44 payload a couple of nights ago above OUC's Indian River power plant. I admit that I was almost emotional, considering that I had spent so much trying and failing to see this one launch. Additionally, that this is my favorite rocket and Delta IV Heavy will be retired in a few years so this is one of my last chances at capturing one, Despite this, it was but also a rather nerve-wracking one, as I had to stand on some active railroad tracks and it was unforgivingly cold for Central Florida. Nonetheless, I’m pretty proud of this considering that I have had limited success with night launches, but many times of trial and error finally paid off!
