I always find it incredibly humbling to watch forces like that at play, even more so when we humans have managed to harness them for our own benefit. I still get a shiver down my spine every time I hear, and feel, an F22 do a hot pass (hell even a P51 Mustang!), but something like this would be orders of magnitude more intense. I would definitely love to see a launch in person at some point...

Its pretty amazing. Even though the shuttle is less intense than the Saturn V would have been, its still spectacular. We were a good 6-10 miles away and it felt like someone was blaring a 15" subwoofer close-by. Then you look up into the sky and it looks as if the sun is rising and you absolutely cannot believe there are 7 people strapped to the tip of that ball of fire.
