Somethings never get old and one of those things are rocket launches from Cape Canaveral. I live about 100 miles from the Cape and love walking outside and watching the launches. I have an app “Launch Console” which has some pretty cool features. First is the “Countdown” that shows the next launch in days, hours and minutes. Next is “Upcoming Missions” which describes what is scheduled for launch, another feature that is handy they have a live stream so you can watch the countdown and launch and in my case I have maybe 15 to 20 seconds to be in place to view and take pictures. Finally, a compass showing which way you should look for the launch. I have mine set for alerts so I know when I need to get outside.
As a youngster, I remember watching rocket launches from Cape Canaveral on our Black and White TV. Couple of things I recall, first the rockets and how powerful they looked, secondly sitting in Pennsylvania in the middle of winter seeing people in short sleeve shirts. So, this evening I got to walk outside in shorts, polo shirt and flip flops and watch the launch from my own yard! Must admitted it was a bit chilly at 8:32 pm, 65 degrees!
