For the record, it was absolutely awesome.
I didn't break open any wounds, as far as I know.
We left LA around 12:30/1:00 and got to Mojave around 2:45. The cars were lined up on the highway for about a mile, but we were within the first couple hundred cars.
We parked right next to the souvenir tent, but since the wind was gusting between 50 and 70 knots according to one announcer, we ended up sleeping in the car until 5:45, then grabbed some coffee and wandered over to the area overlooking the hangars.
It was pretty perfect timing, the announcer started talking about within a half hour, we saw the chase planes taking off.
The White Knight/SpaceShipOne combo was impressive to see take off, and it took about an hour to get to altitude. It had a Starship as a chase plane for most of the flight and a fighter as high alt chase plane.
We kept losing sight of it, it only intermittently had contrails.
It didn't help that they launched within a few arc-seconds of the sun, it was hard to see, but when the rocket fired... there was no mistaking it! It was great, very full of adrenaline and cheering! There were tens of thousands of people there, easy, and it was great to watch.
We even had some tension when radio from the cockpit reported a loud bang and problems setting trim, and some more later when a chase plane reported buckling in the propulsion pod, but other then that it was perfect.
We got some great close up shots, I'll have 'em on my website soon.
