We've seen a few Shuttle Night Launches
Very impressive

I watched and felt the rumble and the thrust beating against us of the Saturn V booster testing in Mississippi Stennis Test facility...Oops! I may be showing my age some!   :o

Yeah, that and the Shuttle Main Engines were tested there
My late Father worked on both projects
Somewhere we have pics of those big monsters firing on their Test Stands

those were some big bad boys...7,600,000 lb/ft of thrust  :o

I wish they would have shown move views of the Wallop launch, kind of pale by comparison to a shuttle or other launches.
