Wifey B: We've watched sort of from the water, from the marina. Great view. Fun, but a one time thing as it's sort of a great mental buildup to what you're going to see, then a minute of action, then it's all over.

You have to sort of psych yourself up to think, even though it's now done all the time, space launches are still amazing. People have been flying around in space all my life so it's easy to take it for granted. Now, those of you who are over 56 remember the first manned launch and those over 60 remember the first launch. To me it's still amazing but perspective isn't the same. I'm also very glad I don't know anything at all about the science and can just be in awe that we can do such things.
