I got to see one of the last Space Shuttle launches. It was supposed to be the last, but then they added more. It was STS-132 in May of 2010. We got super lucky, that trip was to see my mom, but also to see the shuttle, and we drove up and watched and it launched on schedule which is not terribly common.

I'd love to see one of the night launches, even just watching from my mom's place (Vero) during a visit is supposed to be pretty amazing. I also saw a launch from Tampa once. It was a morning launch. I was at work and the DJs on the radio announced "the shuttle just went up, if you can go outside and look east you should see it." It was amazing to me to see the shuttle from across the state.
