We are from Massachusetts and were vacationing in FL at the time of this launch (4th of July '06). We were reminded by a local radio station that the Discovery would be launching in approximately 30 minutes. At that time we were on the highway travelling from Orlando to Palm Coast. Last minute, we thought we'd try to find a place to see it. We were racing down the highway trying to find an exit to get off to get close. The radio station was counting down and we only had about 8 minutes left. We finally found a spot with about 4 or 5 minutes and we ended up parking in a Dunkin Donuts/McDonald's parking lot in Cocoa Beach and walking across the street. I have not seen many things like that. It was truly a jawdropping experience.
