My husband and I saw the shuttle launch on Wednesday from Spaceview Park which is right across from the control tower. It was the first time we've seen a launch so it was really cool seeing the actual lift off and seeing the shuttle directly above our heads.
we were visiting my family, BIL works at space center, we took the boat out and watched it from the port. It was a bit hazy out, but is was cool. On a real clear day you can see the launch pad, but a night launch is the best!

We weren't there for this launch, but had the opportunity to see a launch in the past and it was the most awesome experience; to see it, to hear it and to feel the rumble. It is something that we will never forget.
I saw the launch from POP. There were about 10 of us watching. We were able to see it from the bus stop area. Two of the CM's actually came outside to watch with us.
