Wish I had been present, at least once. I need a better subwoofer on my iMac.

Can I sue you for hearing damage . . .

First time I have watched/listened to one of these with ear buds in and turned up.

The ROAR of those engines/motors (sinceionly one is likely correct and the grammar cops can choose the correct one) is unbelievable.

Seems there is something like 3.5 million pounds of fuel consumed on a launch.

Probably more hearing damage than from all of the shooting over the last year. Oh wait I have been shooting mostly air gun!

Only thing missing is the ground shaking and the feel of that much sound.

I seem to remember someone here (or at least used to be here) was present for those.

Oh well "The Feckless one" has destroyed yet another thing that ALL of AMERICA built.
Guess the Big 0 is appropriate symbol.

Louis, sorry for the hearing loss, amigo. Try to have a better rest of 2016. And I agree, you need to have your sternum rattling to get the full effect. I can't imagine what it must have felt like to witness a Saturn V launch.
