Wish they had a parallel feed that stays with the liquid tank.
“Falling off” was cool.

Main engine cutoff and jettison of the external tank! Atlantis has reached orbit and Commander Rick Sturckow has confirmed a good separation.

Because I wasn’t at the Cape. I was at JSC and completely spaced off the launch until I walked into the lobby.

I hadn't thought about it either but it makes sense because we were looking underneath the Orbiter and there is nothing there but tiles.

There’s an Atlas 5 launch in a couple days. Not quite as big as the shuttle, but really hot.
