I worked on the shuttle for a while during the last century.
Never got a chance to see a launch, but I did get to see several landings
from the roof of the hangar at Edwards South Base. That little speck in the
sky gets Big real Fast as it comes in.

And just a few days ago I watched the "new shuttle" on TV as it was launched
atop an Atlas 5. Smaller, Cheaper, Faster :-)
