 MD> I have written about this before, but I live about 100 mikes from Cape
 MD> Canaveral. I just saw another Space X launch from my back yard.  What a
 MD> beautiful view!

wow. I wish I was at your place :)

 MD> About 15 seconds after launch, we were able to see the bright orange glow
 MD> moving skyward.  We saw it through all 3 stages until it finally
 MD> disappeared.

cool... is it better during the day (I guess yes?) or at night Mike?

 MD> By coincidence, my wife and I will be taking a bus ride to Port
 MD> Canaveral to board a gambling ship.  The complex that we live in
 MD> schedules regular trips for residents, and does so at a very reasonable
 MD> rate.  $54.00 each gives us the bus trip there and back, entrance to the
 MD> boat and a meal plus an entertainer on board.

sounds like fun, have you seen a launch from the boat before?

 MD> Hopefully, the weather will cooperate.

by the time you get this reply I hope it did :)
