I got to see several Shuttle launches up close from the VIP reviewing stand.

Yes, it's the Hubble with the shuttle Discovery.

I never got the chance to see a shuttle take off, one of my great missed opportunities. I hope one day I can see a big rocket lift off.

I did get to see a SpaceX launch a couple years ago, but not the same as a shuttle or big rocket. Hopefully someday. Hoping Artemis gets off the ground (literally) sooner rather than later as I'll make sure to take the trip to see it fly.

First Lego I have done in about 50 years and my Dad did most of this one.
