I almost had that opportunity back in 1991 but the darn launch got delayed an extra day and I had to fly back that day.

Saw my last one in 1999, a daytime launch. Tomorrow will be a night launch. Only 6 Shuttle launches till they switch to the Ares. You are truly missing something if you have never seen it.

IIRC this is the last night launch. Where are you guys going to watch from?

I wasn't aware they were making changes. It's about time.
