Fly me to the moon...
CNN.com - Eager fans cheer Discovery liftoff - Jul 26, 2005
I wanted to do this for the last launch attempt which was cancelled. This morning, on the spur of the moment I decided to drive out towards Titusville (route to KSC) to see if I could get a better view of the launch. I stopped when threre was a break in the surrounding trees where I thought I could get a nice view.
There was already a car stopped there, and shortly thereafter a bunch of people stopped too. I offered to take a picture of a group that was waiting in lawn chairs when one of their group was taking a picture of the other two. Behind me a Florida Highways truck stopped and the guy got out and walked up to my car. He asked if everything was ok and when I told him I was stopping to see the launch he said that's cool because he was too. After a shortly while I'd guess a couple dozen cars stopped along the same section of the highway.
It was an amazing thing to see. I'm glad I decided to head out there.
