Thinking about going to go see the next one in January... want to know if its worth it or not?

Greetings:

I saw the Atlantis go up about two years ago and it's worth the trip. Even the tour of the space center is worth it. If you like anything to with the space program take the trip. Check their site before you go ever since 9/11 you can't get onsite passes to view the launchs but there are some pretty good off site locations you can go to.
