	The Space Shuttle Discovery launches at 7:19 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, October 11, 2000. I was standing in the parking lot of the Seminole County Public Schools administration building. This is mission STS-92, the 100th shuttle launch. It brought key structural components to the International Space Station.
	Here the solid rocket boosters can be seen separating from the shuttle (the lower point of light).
	Here is the vapor trail about 5 minutes after launch. The sun is illuminating the upper part and the moon is lighting the lower part.
