Everyone knows by now that the shuttle launched, so
I will just complement that by saying that there is
nothing like seeing it first hand.  With binoculars
from the guest grandstands (about 4 miles away), you
get just as big a view as on TV, and the sound has
no comparison (the carbon-based microphones don't
reproduce the sound very well as there is a lot of
low-frequency vibrations).
