If anyones ever been close to a eurofighter as its coming by you giving full berries (think low level pass by at an air show) thats kind of what it sounds lke, but less crackly and at a much lower pitch and more rumbly...And just as lound, if not louder even as far away as we were.

We must of been a good couple of miles away at least.

Kennedy itself is just awesome too, I learned loads! If they delay the shuttle launch by 60 seconds, by the time they reach "space" they are 300 miles away from where they are meant to be.

And, if you are within 400 feet of the launch pad at go...the heat from the thrusters will kill you...At 800 feet the sound will still kill you!
