That is a vey cool thing, that I wish I could see up close. I saw the shuttle break apart overhead here in Texas, and I wish seriesly that I hadn't. It was one of those moments when you just know something has gone horribly wrong, and you are helpless to do anything about it.

I agree.

I was standing on the dock in Key Largo the cold morning (even there) that Challenger blew up. Me and a couple guys were watching it go up, over Card Sound.

I remember being kind of amazed at the smoke it was suddenly making, but hadn't realized there was a problem. Found out a minute later though, from someone who had been watching it on TV.

Saw a couple go up from Miami too, that were fine.
