You can't get very close to the launch area in a boat - the area is super restricted starting 4 days before a launch. Also, there's a front coming in Thursday. We'll just watch it from the back yard. It is really cool to see them go up. They launch Atlas rockets all the time. If you are inland, you can't really tell the difference between a rocket launch and a shuttle. (Up close the shuttle launch is much louder and more impressive). Many times we have been in the car driving home from work and look up to see a rocket shooting up in the air. A few weeks ago we were pulling into an anchorage on the Indian River Lagoon and looked at the horizon to see a firey tail following by a plume of puffy smoke. You never get tired of seeing them. Just an added bonus to living in Central Florida.
