Amazing how fast the Shuttle reaches the flight level of the airliner :D

I watch the launches from my dock. It has to be one of the exhilarating, beautiful, magnificent experiences to watch.

I have always wanted to watch a launch live - sigh. Way back NASA was thinking of launching missions from Vanderburgh in California. I lived there at the time and was massively disappointed when that idea was scrubbed.

Some of us made the trek from New England to Fla in Jan 86 for the Winter AMA (mx) and a cool side benefit was seeing the launch on an early morning.
