Nice video of what it really was like to attend a Shuttle Launch. I saw one on October 1993. There were a lot less boats but the view and excitement were almost identical. We lost view of the Shuttle just before SRB Sep.
I was going to ask when this was as you don’t say , but the t-shirt and a quick google gave the answer - Oct 1998 . I was at the launch of Colombia in Aug 1989 , I was on holiday from the U.K , staying with my cousins in Mokena Illinois . We drove all the way down to Florida over a few days . We plotted up at a viewing site a mile or so away from the launchpad . It was warm enough as it was , but when that thing launched it was like someone opening the door to a blast furnace . It certainly gives you a healthy amount of respect for the boys and girls who strap themselves into those mad things !!
Those were the days 😢😢😢😢 look how many people are watching the space shuttle launch,,,, today’s youth could care less! I was born in 1974 and I can say that I had the best childhood and life was great
These videos are treasure gems!♦🔹 🔶🔸🔷 They bring so much nostalgia and memories of those times. I miss the way we all really socialized and interacted.
Looks like Port Canaveral which has changed immensely since 1998. Ill be 50 on Xmas eve, so this was half my life ago.
Wow. Your videos are like basically my childhood!!! We used to go down to New Smyrna Beach almost every winter in the 90s
I was 21 in 1998 and what great times they were back then. Thank you for sharing!!!❤
So many memories from that year. I do miss the 90s and early 2000s.
This is awesome! I remember and love the first song playing. I miss this days. Just riding and listening to awesome music. Good times

came for the video.. stayed for the music!
Great year!
How does this video compare to your memory of it??
If it wasn't for the video I would have forgot I went to this special event. Pretty crazy to think about.
