    I'd love to be able to see that some day. My sister and her family saw it once & I have an Aunt & cousins who live in Florida and see it everytime. They say it really is an amazing thing. I get excited when I see a falling star so I know I would be excited to see the shuttle launch.

    Do you hear it going off? If so, is it super loud?

    Thanks for sharing your experience!

    I love Fenway, JoJo, Olivia and Nonnie!

    I really would like to see a launch in person.I've really looked forward to
    this flight because the other two times the weather was bad.CNN had live
    coverage. It would be awesome to actually be there.

    I am so envious. I would love to see the shuttle launch, just once. I have been to the Kennedy Space Center and have seen all the "stuff", but never a live launch.

    I'm so glad that the shuttle lifted off successfully today. What a special day to have it happen.

    We can't hear the noise at my house. I'm close to Daytona Beach. I've been down there several times to see the launches from the banks of the Indian River. Being that close, you can feel the ground move and that's mind boggling. It's just an amazing phenomenon for sure. Some of our other Floridians here at PTmay be close enough to have heard the noise part of it as well. Maybe we should have a big PT meeting the next time we have a launch so everybody can see it

    Thanks Barry!

    The one and only time I saw it close enough was when I lived in Ocala many years ago. I will never forget it. It was 1987 and I was in grade school.... It was when the Challenger blew up.
