->  WC> Taken the tour at Cape Canaveral twice.
->  WC> The Saturn 5 is absolutely awesome.

-> Yeah it is. I got there once,  and it was much later in the day than I'd 
have
-> wanted.  But we got a picture with me standing under those rocket nozzles.  
I
-> could probably fit my whole apartment inside of those nozzles...

Yeah I doubt anyone who hasn't seen it could realize how big it 
really is.
                 
From T.V. viewing I thought the Titan was big but it's small compared to
the Saturn V.

->  WC> They've got Redstones and Titan's standing up but the Saturn 5
lies
->  WC> on it's side and it dwarfs all the other rockets.

-> Yep!  Getting back there is probably one of the few reasons I'd wanna get 
back
-> to FL any more.

As long as I've lived here I've never seen a launch from that coast.
You can actually see the shuttle go up here on the other coast on a
clear day as well as SRB separation.

Got up one night in the wee hours to see the shuttle pass over too.
