Doubtful. People watch Shuttle launches from the causeway and that’s six miles from the pad. That’s pretty close to witness 6.625 million lbf of thrust. One would imagine that a person could survive much closer to an SLBM launch, because that first stage is nowhere close to the thrust of a shuttle at liftoff.

Alas, the Shuttle is a little baby kiddy rocket compared to one with an immediate blast zone 3,200 feet wide.

That's a huge rocket ~ flying saucer mothership sized!

I don't think you could get within 30 miles of it and not get hurt!
