[Rhodes22-list] Shuttle Launch

[R22RumRunner at aol.com]

Hank,
It actually took the rumble quite a while to reach us. It was strange  
because you could hear it coming across the water as it approached us. I hope  
that made sense. The entire flight that was visible to us lasts about twenty 
or  thirty seconds. Once the solid rocket boosters left the shuttle, we lost 
sight  of it in the clouds.

So, how  loud is it from that distance?  Can you feel the rumble?  It  seems
like it is kind of like my experience at the grand canyon. You know  the
canyon is big, but there is just no way to describe or comprehend  the
enormity until you see it in person.  I imagine the shuttle launch  is a
similar type experience.
