BowEd:
They should of shown the landing of that rocket.Pretty cool too.Maybe they will later.
mullet:
Ed, they have been landing on the barge that is 200 miles off shore for a while now. Bob, Your friend is right, woke up in a motel at Canaveral inlet one morning with ash trays, lamps and anything not glued day shaking and vibrating off the tables when the shuttle went up. When working at the Cape or Nuc Sub base we had the day off whenever there was a launch. Also, another rocket scheduled to go up this afternoon. Will not be able to see that one either, 5" of rain on the way.
BowEd:
Cool.
Except for the vibrations....HaHa.I imagine landing does'nt shake anything up.
Pat B:
I went to college in Jensen Beach, Fl in 1969 through '71, not too far south of Cape Canaveral. I never got to see a rocket launched during the day but we did get to see the night time launch of weather and other satellite launches from the beach. It was pretty cool seeing the rockets streaking through the sky and watching as the first stage of the rockets separate from the rest. It was pretty "trippy" experience in those days. ::)
BowEd:
I'm sure you could hear the roaring noise of those engines.
