How to see a space shuttle launch in person by lostlo

"Magical, after a lifetime of wishing."

How I did it: Spent the night in Canaveral, and saw the pre-dawn launch of Discovery on Sunday!  The sunrise afterward was probably even better than the launch, the plume turned colors & was so beautiful!  I took 1.18GB of photos & video.  

Been wanting to do this since childhood (grew up in Central FL, watching the launches from afar), and thought I wouldn't get a chance before the program ended.  Well worth it!

Lessons & tips: There are only 3 launches left, and they will be crowded. COME EARLY.  Bring snacks, restaurants will be mobbed.  Just go for it, you won't get another chance!
