My brother and I went there on a family holiday in 1994. We got up at 5am IIRC, and sat on top of the RV we rented to watch the thing launch.
It sat on the pad, main engines fired, and then shut down. Some safety system had a spaz and aborted literally a second before launch

Even from 3 or 4 miles away across the swamps, the noise and the light it kicked out was awesome. Deffo going back to Florida soon, be great to time it with a launch, but doubt we'll get that opportunity again.

Great pics Punkie
