Obviously, I was MUCH farther away in Tampa than you are in NSB, but I thought that made it almost more amazing at how clearly I was able to see the shuttle from across the state.

I also got to see one of the last shuttle launches locally back in 2010. That was pretty amazing too.

I've got family in Vero Beach. Unfortunately, there's never been a night launch while I was visiting. I'd love to see one. I hear that even as far south as Vero the sky still lights up a surprising amount.
