If you are over in the area when one launches, do it, you will not regret it, even if they pull the launch, KSC is a great day out
As i said above, we watched a Atlas 5 rocket ( now i know its not the biggest, i know its not the shuttle, but it didnt matter, it was a rocket going into space ) launch at KSC a few years back, got up to the viewing area early to get seats ( now that was hot, they do not have any shade, so you are sat in the midday sun for 2 hours ) they pipe in the checks over the speakers from T minus 20 minuets, the build up is great, real seat of your pants stuff, as you know, anyone of them checks come back as a no and its called off
My youngest loved it, really opened her eyes in the terms of engineering and what you can achieve if you try, 4 years on and she still has the bug, she was sat ( well bouncing with excitement ) on a chair infront of the TV tonight watching the stream with her ipad recording it from the TV ( of course it didnt matter that i said it will be on youtube in HD in 10 mins, she was part of it )
