Too bad. I was once down in Port Canaveral overnight with my family, waiting to board a cruise ship in the morning. at dinner the waitress told us that there was going to be a “rare” night launch of the space shuttle. They had scrapped a couple of launch times due to weather and were getting sort of desperate so night it was. Around midnight we went out to see what’s what. I had low expectations, after all we were miles away from the launch site. Holy cow, was I wrong. It was just like daytime when that rocket lit up. Really cool to be out there at midnight and see it look like it was noon. I really didn’t appreciate the sheer magnitude of the explosive force in those rockets until I saw that.
