My house is about 30 miles North straight up the coast. The trajectory usually seems like they shoot it to the North a little because it seems like it comes my way a little bit.

What's cool is to be out in the ocean and see one. I have seen Titans launch at night when fishing but never a shuttle.

The shuttle makes a Titan look like a bottle rocket.

The sound at 30 miles away is still pretty loud once it gets here but the shuttle is out of site before you really hear anything at all here.
