Yep. Ran outside and saw the plume of smoke and bright light of the rocket right from my drive way. Cool. :cool:

Watched it with our 12 year old son this morning. We visited the Kennedy Space Center last Thursday so it made it all the more interesting for him, he couldn't get over the fact that he actually saw the launchpad only a few days ago!

I ran outside too and joined the neighbours hoping to see something but couldn't see anything from down here.

It was too hazy from here this time, but I did hear it, just.
