On December 9th i drove up from Key West to see the launch it was 100% amazing I paid extra to get closer to the launch site. It was one of the KSC options. I refused to take pictures because I wanted to have the experience of the launch. All I can say is there was nothing like it. It was the second biggest moment in my life the first being 9/11.
Welcome! I totally understand why you just wanted to sit back, relax, and enjoy the launch. Watching it on TV does it no justice whatsoever. Nothing beats seeing it in person.
