Nice spot, there were quite some people there but it was not overcrowded. (it was very early in the morning...) Someone had a live transmission of NASA TV / communications running so you could hear what was going on. We had a great view! <P>Recommendation however for future viewing: If you want to photograph or film a launch, go stand on the real "coastline" and not under the roof of the pier that is going over the water. When the rocket was going further up, I found that roof a tad disturbing. </FONT></TD></TR></TABLE></td></tr></table>
