I was there. The birds flew from the trees and dozens of car alarms and horns went off. It was beautiful and I cried!!!  One week later in Mississippi we heard a sonic boom, turned on the tv to see what happened. Within 5 minutes the shuttle was landing in Florida. Awe-inspiring to see the launch in person, hear the re-entry, and see the landing on television.
