A Space-X launch is worthy of adding to my bucket list. Watching the "heavy" reaching for the sky would be especially gratifying.

I had the chance to scratch off a shuttle launch from my list in the early '90s. My brother in law was a col. in the air force and was one of the guys to say "go" for launch since he was in charge of the weather for launch. He was able to get me and my wonderful father-in-law (rest his soul) into the press area for the launch of STS-76. Couldn't believe how much the earth rumbled and the crackling sound of those boosters!
