I got to see one of the last shuttle launches. Mikester was also there. We got super lucky, almost completely clear skies and a launch that went right on time. My mom lives in Vero Beach. She's been able to see a few launches from her back yard.
I'd like to see a dawn, dusk or night launch sometime while I'm visiting.

One of the key Space-X principles is a Porsche guy. He gave us a Hawthorne plant tour through PCA a few years ago. They are doing some amazing things and moving propulsion technology forward at a rapid pace.
