Just watched the boosters come down on the Cape from near Cape Canaveral National Seashore. Amazing to watch be able to see the separation, boostback burn and landing burns with my own eyes. Beautiful and eerie sight.
Lucky you! Consider me slightly jealous, I have to do with the youtube feed, but I have yet to miss a launch. This one kept me up way past my bedtime but it was so worth it :)
I took my kids to see the demo launch and they said the rentry burns looked like evil eyes but to me they looked like half an x-wing. ;) everyone must see a live launch.
