Yep. I had press credentials for STS-1, and drove from California. I think the launch was a week after the scheduled date. But we saw that and then saw the landing, after driving from Flroida to California. We were younger then.

Agreed, but the further you travel, the more chance that the launch will be delayed by a significant number of days or weeks.
