I was fortunate enough to have had a dad who worked for NASA…as a result, I saw a few launches (Apollo program) when I was a very small child. Unfortunately, I was really too young to grasp what I was witnessing (I mainly only remember hating the loud noise the rockets made at lift-off). Luckily, I was able to return to the Cape years later to see a shuttle launch. Even though we were a mile away from the launch pad, it was a sight to behold. Absolutely breathtaking. Such a shame that no one will be able to witness another launch in the near future…
