Just in case anybody is ever on Florida's east coast on a launch day the best place to view a launch in my opinion is Titusville. From Orlando you head east on Hwy50 until it dead ends at US1. Turn left and go about 1/2 mile. You can park along the highway in several locations. Straight across the Indian River you can see the launch pad. At night it is lit up and easy to spot.
We used to watch the Shuttle launches from there. You are about 2 or 3 miles from the pad and the river is all that is in your way. When they light up the engines at night it is like instant daylight. About 3 seconds later you see the shock wave coming across the river and the ground starts to shake. A second or two later you start to hear the rumble of the rocket engines. Next to wild kinky sex it is about the greatest feeling known to man.

Satellite beach is a good spot.
