Who up for the shuttle launch?

We've never been and the end is near so off we go!

We're taking the bikes out at O dark thirty and going over.

Has anyone else been to see one up close?

I saw a night luanch from the causeway back around 1996. Simply AMAZING feeling the ground shake and knowing I was still five miles away!

My wife and I saw a launch from the VIP area which is three miles away.

It is interesting to experience the speed of sound of one mile every five seconds. You'll see the shuttle lift off and hear nothing for 5 X (miles away you are) seconds.
