>It's worth staying just to see. I happened to be at the FPL power facility, which is about 10 miles away on the river, and watched from there. You could see the sound rippling the water as it took off. Very Cool.

I know which one you're talking about - great vantage point! I saw a night launch from Orlando once. Of course there was no sound at that distance but it was still very impressive to watch that huge bright flame ascend and disappear. I'd love to see one up close, maybe it'll work out for May '01.
