I wish I could watch it. Launches are so impressive. I am still like a kid watching them. My wife says i am still a kid anyway!
She's right.
But she is the one who married a minor!

Hi Tommy, it should be on the evening news + also they usually have a vid posted on the web shortly after the launch...
I never get tired of watching them & I've seen 100's of them..We sure are putting a lot of junk in2 `Space....
Below is a picture from 2011 of the junk that's up in Space

Via the BBC:Scientists in the US have warned NASA that the amount of so-called space junk orbiting Earth is at tipping point. A report by the National Research Council says the debris could cause fatal leaks in spaceships or destroy valuable satellites.
It calls for international regulations to limit the junk and more research into the possible use of launching large magnetic nets or giant umbrellas. The debris includes clouds of minuscule fragments, old boosters and satellites.
Some computer models show the amount of orbital rubbish “has reached a tipping point, with enough currently in orbit to continually collide and create even more debris, raising the risk of spacecraft failures,” the research council said in a statement on Thursday.

Space launches are awesome sights to see that's for sure. I've never had the pleasure of seeing one in person but have seen a few on tv and internet. It is in my bucket list of things to do though.
Wow that pic of space junk is quite unsettling to say the least, it's a wonder they launch anything safely

United Launch Alliance (ULA) has launched the ninth Block IIF Global Positioning System navigation satellite Wednesday in an afternoon launch from Cape Canaveral. Liftoff, atop a Delta IV rocket, was on schedule at 14:36 EDT (18:36 UTC), at the opening of what was an 18-minute window at Space Launch Complex 37B.

Nice post BeachBumMike, I would like to see something like this go up, has to be way impressive. Took the family to Disney World when a shuttle was scheduled to go, but the event was scratched due to bad weather...Grrr It seems the space above the earth is getting trashed like the huge trash pile in the middle of the Pacific. We are so screwed...

I used to watch the shuttle go up from my side of FL near Tampa. Especially at dusk on a clear day you can see it go right up. And when it came back to Earth it would sonic boom so hard it would shake my house and wake me up thinking a plane just crashed in my yard, or some kind of bomb went off. As I got older though it was like oh yea just a sonic boom, no biggie.
