If you ever get the opportunity to go see a launch, DO IT!! It will absolutely make the hairs on your neck and arms stand straight up. When you see it in person, you quickly realize that the shuttle is not so much a graceful spacecraft (although it is that...), but a brute-force machine. It is essentially a huge bomb with a nozzle on the end. And to think that there are human beings inside of it just boggles the mind.
Watching a launch on TV is like watching the Indy 500 on TV versus driving the car in the race -- absolutely no comparison.
