    Which vehicles have you seen launch? I’ve seen some engine tests, but I’ve never seen a launch even though I’ve worked on shuttle and SLS.

      Mostly smaller SpaceX launches since they are quite plentiful!

      The big launches bring massive crowds so for those it’s usually from home ( still quite visible on a clear day). Since my youth though I’ve seen the Atlantis, Columbia many times.

      Hope you get to see the fruits of your work in action. It’s quite breathtaking and hard to put into words. I compare it to skydiving in that way.
