I actually did see one way back in 1989 or 1990.. right after I moved here. I was lucky because it has to be REALLY clear to see it from Lakeland. I think they did the turn in a better direction for us to see--when the launch for a higher orbit for the space station, it does a longer arc, right?

It seriously lit the entire sky looking east! Like the sun coming up! I do plan on going to KSC and watching/recording and taking high res pics of a Launch before it's retired. (I kinda hope they extend the date)..
