I'm the same as you damo.
Though I haven't seen it yet (a launch), it will be as said by Darth Vader "It is your destiny".....
Though I have always sat up (where possible) to watch the re-entry phase.
For us Melburnians and Taswegians, we can see it re-enter, but it's a case of everthing has to be right. No clouds, not much crap in the air, ra ra ra, as it appears around 5 degrees off the horizon.
What I don't see on the ascent, I see on the descent.
