Name a place you hear a countdown......?

The VIP Launch area which is located three miles from Pad A and four miles from Pad B. The sequence is broadcast in these areas and throughout KSC through the PA system. I know the woman employed by NASA that used to do the announcement but she has since been promoted. It would be wrong for me to give out her name in this forum but her initials are LM. Launch sequence countdowns are also performed at Cape Canaveral for the rocket launches. Cape Canaveral is actually across the river from KSC yet sometimes confused as one and the same. Kennedy Space Center was actually once known as Merritt Island Launch Area (MILA).
