Faster than a rocket being shot into space

A few weeks ago I rode my CBR250R over to a local riverfront park to watch the launch of a rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.  I can almost always see the launched from my backyard, but its a better view from the river with a clear almost unobstructed view 25 miles to the south wthere the launch pads are.  So many bikers oround here seem to only be weekend warriors, and they forget about the short rides.  When I arrived I found my nephew swimming in the river with one of his friends. You can see the launch trail rising up from the docks looking due south from the park.
