Very very cool to catch a nova in process.

We actually saw the Swift liftoff. We were visiting relatives in Florida for Thanksgiving in 2004 and went to visit the Kennedy Space Center. It was a fairly small vehicle but was still quite impressive to see in person.

Wow .. Outstanding that you saw the launch. Swift is really a totally different kind of "bird" .. what with it's ability to quickly rotate toward the action ...
