David,
Despite it being expensive and what some may consider sluggish, I, for one will miss the Space Shuttle. The first one launched when I was 2. I to this day remember the television footage of Challenger going up in flames.
I get chills down my spine everytime I watch a live launch. How lucky were you to visit KSC and see a launch! I think this will be one of my life long regrets in not having felt a launch. I think that word is probably the best way to describe a launch.
In my mind, there is a great deal of romance associated with the Shuttle and I don't think we're going to have this weird romance with any other proposed system if it ever comes to fruition.
But, I suppose, it's not about romance, it's about saving money and sending better craft up there.
