I remember taking one for the team and getting a detention in high school in NJ when I stayed home to watch the first attempt that was scrubbed.  I went in late after the scrub and proudly explained that I stayed home to watch the 1st Shuttle launch.  The nuns were kind but gave me the detention anyway.  Then my mom and I watched it finally go that Sunday morning on the 12th!  I'll never forget it!
Missions Completed:
1, 8, 41C, 26, 27, 31, 88, 96, 32, 51A, 47, 93, 103, 99, 98, 100, 121, 116, 117

IMHO that launch was worth the detention and a spanking - LOL!
