We were hoping to see a rocket launch the day we went to KSC but when we called that morning we were told the launch was rescheduled and won't go up until after we left Florida. We were bummed but still went.

Then when we got there we found out that the Space Shuttle landing was rescheduled and was happening that afternoon. As it approached the base, ALL activity at KSC stopped to watch (including all employees), and when it disappeared from our view and touched down everyone cheered madly. It was amazing to watch.
