I have heard the shuttle take off while I was in Cape Coral, FL. That is approx 130 miles away. Cape Coral is on the Southwest coast of Florida. The family went outside to catch a view of the shuttle. Everyone else watched then went back into the house. I sat there for a few minutes thinking of the wonder of what I had seen, and then I heard the rumble. It was an unforgettable experience from so far away.
