I was on a flight to Miami a while back and we were detoured around the flightr pad area. The pilot gave us a heads up and we were able to watch the takeoff and flight from the air. The pad lights up bright white with the rocket taking off from the center of it and looks like a giant building slowly lifting off and then it streakes up into the atmosphere. Awsome sight and our aircraft was able to witness the entire liftoff from the air.
