Looking forward to walking out in my front yard and watching it.

Night time liftoffs are awesome.

One of these years I’m going to go to Florida to watch one of these launches.

I got to be on top of a building on Patrick AFB to watch a shuttle night launch.
That was wild, as the entire sky lit up.
Unfortunately it was the shuttle that came apart on reentry..

We extended our stay in FL for a night launch of the space shuttle. Drove to the cape and found parking got out and set up for the long wait. T-minus 1 minute and that nighttime launch was scrubbed until the next day. We were in a plane headed back home that day when the launch occurred.

I was hoping to see that night launch. Was in Orlando graduated from boot camp and was heading to my AT school in Millington TN. When the shuttle explosion occurred. Never got to see one up close and personal. You’re one of the lucky ones.
