I saw a night launch from WDW back in November 2000 (might actually have been December 1999). What a sight! I understand the sound is awesome, but one has to be closer to hear it.

"Chip Junior" and I visited the Kennedy Space Center last year. We enjoyed a great tour and lunch with Astronaut John Blaha. I look forward to going there again and taking "Flora".

Remember crowding around a small TV in a dorm room to watch the first shuttle launch during my freshman year in college. Three times.
