My father worked at Patric Air Force Base just south of the cape and we lived in Melbourne Beach about 20 miles South. We watched the launch from the beach across from our house. I was 8 years old and one of the strongest memories I have of the launch was the time delay between seeing the launch and hearing and feeling the launch. I think it was about a minute and a half so the rocket was aleady pretty small when the rumble hit.
