Agreed.
I was about 14 years old and my summer baseball team was in Cocoa Beach, FL for the AAU National Championship tourney. We happened to be off one day and were all in the ocean goofing around when there was a shuttle takeoff. I remember it vividly to this day. You could feel the ocean floor shaking and the whole process lasted what felt like 30 minutes
, prolly more like 10. I remember the boosters falling off and watching them crash back to the ocean. It was an incredible thing to see.
