I want to go over for the SpaceX Falcon Heavy. I too remember going to the Cape for two Apollo launches. A memorable sight.

Saw the Apollo night shot back in the day from 200 miles away. The first stage separation is spectacular.

Just saw this on the space.com site:
“Update Jan. 18, 7:10 p.m. EST: ULA has scrubbed today’s launch. No word yet of a reschedule.”
