Pictures Because it Did Happen
If you’ve never seen a launch before, don't go crazy taking pictures of it. Get a couple of photos with your phone but otherwise live in the moment: This isn’t something to see through a smartphone screen or a camera viewfinder.
If you brought binoculars, save them for inspecting the pad in the minutes before launch. Put them down and put your camera away as the countdown reaches the last 30 seconds—the heart-in-your-throat moments of the experience.
