ReplyDeleteOut of the 14 launches I was at for Sea Launch, I was able to see the last 5 from outside. I was doing the video inspection of the Launch Platform after lift-off, so in order to be ready to hop on the chopper with my video camera, I had to be on the helideck, and ready to go immediately after the launch.
