Thanks Bernie;
I'll make a note of this and hopefully this mission will go off
with no problems and regular flights will resume.

Actually 3 miles is about as close as you would want to be IMHO. It
rumbles you gut pretty good and the noise level is pretty high for
general public.

There are no public open bleachers that I'm aware of. There are many
good sites that still give you some feel for it's power. The public
beach south of the inlet which is where I veiwed Apollo 13 is a very
nice spot because you're are over to the side of the trajectory.
