I saw Apollo 17 lift off. We were in our car on a parallel road from the launch pad. My father worked for RCA and did all the shock and vibration tests for all NASA radio equipment. Since it was to be the last Apollo mission, NASA gave us tickets to watch the launch as a gift to my father for all his hard work. It was supposed to go at 6:00 p.m. but due to lightening it was postponed until midnight. I slept in the back of the car until my dad work me up. One of the most amazing things I have ever witnessed. Reading all your excited posts about the space shuttle gave me the opportunity to remember such a beautiful memory I have of my dad. Thank you.:wave:

Not if you live in southern California....

Can't wait for lift-off! I had a funny feeling it wouldn't launch Monday. Hope it does today, save that feeling's popped up again...
