Todd,

I went to the first 13 shuttle launches and a couple Saturn moon shots. 
  I usually spent my time on the west side of the river. Great view of 
the launch. There is now a hotel there so you would have to get a room 
to view from there. The best shots were night or when there is a lot of 
humidity. The sound and atmosphere make the launch much more exciting. 
(It is louder in high humidity)  You can see the sound rippling across 
the river as it approaches you. The ground shakes and night turns to 
day as it lights off.

Bob
