Wow. Glad I found this. I had to sleep in a car the first night because there weren't any hotels with rooms available. Glad I got to see it in Titusville and again here.

@bobdoenz

that's supposed to happen. those are booster packs full of jet fuel that the shuttle needs for that incredible thrust into space. there are 2 little ones, and the giant orange one, which comes off later
