Ever Seen A Launch Live?

I now live back on the Space Coast (Palm Bay) after being gone for 49 years. But I grew up in Melbourne. We moved to Melbourne in 1954. My dad worked for Pan Am at the Cape servicing the down range tracking stations. I personally saw all manned launches from Alan Shepard to Apollo 11. We used to go out back at school to see the launches. But before the manned space program there were all the ICBM and Sub launched ICBM test launches. It was an exciting time. Even today we have the launches of Spacex and the new manned program. We watched them from our front yard.

Incidentally.this July marks the 50 th anniversary of Apollo 11.
