When I lived in FL I got to see several, including a couple from on base. Very cool. If you get the chance, see a night launch. It's completely surreal. You can see the orbiter main engines glowing as a point way off in the starry sky all the way to MECO (Main Engine Cut-Off) about 8:30 after lift-off - by that point it's halfway to Africa. Very cool indeed.
