Just imagine being close enough that the ground shakes and you can here the rumble about 2 minutes after it has launched. That is a bit freaky the first time. I used to go to all of the launches until they changed the way you get passes. Now you can't get them anywhere as close as I am used to so I just stay home where I have a great view. I'm only about 10 miles from the launch pad.
