Well since I'm going to be on the road when the Shuttle launches, depending on the weather. I thought I post it now.

I’m in FL so it’s always fun to watch it go up.

Oh, yeah, there's nothing like feeling the ground shake from a launch when close enough, or just seeing that bright streak even from way down the coast. It's totally awesome. Though even when I'm just watching on TV I get goosebumps!
