Like Betty, many years ago I lived on the "Space Coast" and had the chance to see launches, sometimes from the back yard, and other times in the VIP area. The one thing that the photos can't convey is the "feeling" of the launch - the sound of the rockets actually vibrated against your chest as it reaches you. It is an amazing feeling and every time I remember it I feel awed at the accomplishments of our space program. I remember JFK's vow and marvel at the things that have happened in my lifetime.
