Took my kid to see the space shuttle go up this summer. It was a real pain because they rescheduled it 6 times, and you must be there about 5 hours before the launch. If you take the bus to the watching site, and then they cancel, you don’t get a refund. The tickets cost $90 per... They did, however, give us a coupon for the next launch at a reduced rate, though, but apparently that is not automatic.

Having said all that, it was definitely worth the final result. It was very interesting & dramatic.

You can see it for free from the causeway in Titusville, but its about 15 miles away. Hard to see the rocket on the ground, but once it gets into the air, you definitely know it.
