Yeah they are quite amazing. I think it was last Sunday I was at the beach for a bonfire and I could see what looked like a shuttle launch over the water. Turns out it was a rocket that was shot off in Central California. Pretty cool to see it launch over the water, and when those afterburners kicked in, that was coooool!!
I used to live at Cocoa Beach. My aunt worked for Lockheed and my uncle for the Port Authority. I watched over 15 launches there at the "clock" including the Challenger disaster.
Night lauches were in a whole league of their own!
