4. Boy that would be great!
To actually be there for a launch would be the ultimate, but seeing it from your office building is still beautiful. Here's hoping that they accomplish their mission and come home safely.

9. I think that is one of the absolute best places to view a launch!
I've seen some rockets go up from there and it's something to behold.

8. I can usually see it but not this morning.


Too cloudy/hazy. I'm a hundred miles SW of the cape. I saw the Challenger (Christa McAulliffe flight) explode. Very tragic. I wish this crew all the best.
