garetheves Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 A few of the times that ive been over to America it has co-incided with a shuttle launch so i got to see quite a few of them live. Awesome sights when they do happen. Because its on an island, so to speak, yo uget crowds of people lining the coast to watch them. Get a great view.
