- As a winter resident on the Space Coast, our condo complex is home to many NASA employees and former employees/affiliates. It's like a tailgater, with residents lining the Intracoastal to watch the launch and telling tales of the early days of the Space Program. I've seen dozens of launches and booster re-entries, and it never gets old :-)

As a comparison, Apollo 11 took 12 minutes to reach earth orbit. Then 1-1/2 orbits before trans-lunar injection.- I am awestruck that the rocket is orbiting in about 10 minutes from lift off.
