I live close to where the shuttle lifts off at Cape Canaveral Fl.

I took this a few minutes ago of the lift off.

You're welcome. Unfortunately it went behind the clouds. Not a very clear day here today.

That would be an awesome sight to see. Do you try to see them all?

Yes I usually watch them.

It is so loud that the windows shake at home.

When we lived in GA, we could see the "trail" when the shuttle took off. Was too cool! Once when they had a night take off, we could see it glowing in the sky.
I've always wanted to go and watch one happen. We have some friends that work at NASA and they've said that when ever we want, we can come visit and we can go to where you can see it up close and personal.
