Has anybody on here ever seen the Space Shuttle take off?
Saw Endeavour take off on 19 April 2001 - just realised that was 10 years ago!
We got a spot about 5/6 miles away along the coast; could see the shuttle on the launchpad through binoculars! Had to get there a good few hours beforehand to get a decent spot and it disappears from view in less than a minute! Well worth seeing though.
Only bad thing about being in Florida at that time was missing the Plymouth promotion party. Was back in time for Chesterfield game though!
