He said that he thought the ground would crack open, it shook so much.I don't wish to seem to be a bit of a wimp, but I think I would be feeling a little fearful! :0 All that contained energy and power. I remember watching the first walk on the moon, I felt terrified for them. You'd have thought it were me! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thos Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 You don't get very close, but near enough to experience the thrill. The crowds add to the excitement but there is room for all at the roadside. A nearby Holiday Inn lets onlookers use it's facilities (hoping they will also use the restaurants!) and there are diners nearby. A great experience.Thos.

deuces wild Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 I always wanted to see the shuttle launch but never did. The last chance I had was when I was in St. Pete, Fl at a conference........I did not want to get up at 3:30 a.m. to join the others in the drive across FL to see it. As others have said here I also heard that it is a tremendous experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
