My Uncle worked in the NASA press room and Grandfather worked at the Cape back then.. I was on base for the first 20 or so launches. That was back when they would cancel because a bird flew close to the launch pad.. So there were a lot of getting up a 4 am in the morning and waiting through all the traffic to only have to go home with no launch.

So launches are no longer a big deal too me but it's still cool to watch. I'll be happy when they start launching the Shuttle again.
