A night shuttle launch. Sure, I was about 50 miles away and had to watch the initial ignition on television. But once the bird was airborne we could see it. Watched the solid fuel tanks drop off and the jettison of the booster rocket. I've always wanted to see a night launch, Saturday's might be the last. Good thing I promised to attend the party in FL otherwise I wouldn't have seen it. It was completely different than the launch of a Saturn 5 I saw in 1975.
