I felt a great sense of both sadness and pride when I read this:

I watched the shuttle Discovery take off once at Kennedy Space Center. It lifted off at 1 in the morning and for this ole countryboy, it was the badest bottle rocket I had ever seen, and still is. If you haven't seen it in person there is one last chance to do it and if at all possible you need to see it. Also when you go pack along a radio so you can listen in on the broadcast from the shuttle. I can guarantee you, you will not be disapointed.
