Since I'm only 2-1/2 hours south of the cape and have relatives in Cocoa, I
often drive up to watch launches.  It's better if you can get a pass, but
it's never disappointing even if you can't.

But NOTHING compares to a night launch!  The sky turns blue, the clouds turn
pink, the sea turns gray -- it's incredible!
