I wish I could be there... One of the things I want to do before I die is see a launch in person. I spent 3 years during the beginning of the Shuttle program living about a mile away from JSC, and it was some of the neatest moments of my life to experience that stuff first hand.
I remember seeing a launch in 1986 from Daytona Beach - yes - you could see it that far. However, I would LOVE to go to the Cape and see, hear, and better yet, feel the power, of a launch.
