That was absolutely awesome, set the alarm for 12:30am and got my son Jacob (6) and my wife up to watch it with me.
As beren said, lump in the throat stuff.. it was my first "real" live shuttle launch experience.. I remember previous ones, but not with the same excitement as I wasn't fully into astronomy at that time.
Jacob loved it, i'm sure he'll talk about it at school today during "news" time.
