Drove down do Port Canaveral to watch. Nice launch.
But about the shuttle comment, have you ever seen a Saturn V launch? I'm lucky enough to have seen the last Apollo launch (Apollo 17). Makes the shuttle look like a fire-cracker.....Those were the days of a real space-program....
Personally I enjoy the rocket launchs over the Shuttle launch, espcially when launched from pad 17. Pad 17 is only 3 miles from Port Canaveral, you get an excellent view and REAL NOISE....
