Seeing a launch has been on my bucket list for years but I could never get down there. Even had two friends who worked on the Shuttle program who said I was welcome to stay with them at Cocoa but it never worked out. Then they killed the Shuttle program and he was laid off first - she was laid off shortly afterwards.
Some things just weren’t meant to be. *sigh*
This probe will be a cool one to keep tabs on. And we don’t have to wait NEARLY as long as we did to see Pluto up close. That was a LONG wait!
With SpaceX doing what they’re with unmanned satellite and ISS resupply shots coupled with the upcoming Boeing and SpaceX human-rated test flights, you may get your chance yet.
I know it’s not the shuttle, but a rocket’s a rocket. I’d love to see a SpaceX shot with my own Mark 1 eyeballs rather than on a computer screen.
