Shuttle launch viewing location???

I live in Titusville....lots of people here for this viewing, we were told to expect 250K people!....anyway, we have several nice boating areas with public ramps real close to the Space Center, you are permitted to anchor your boat out on the indian river which will give your a very nice view!....

Check HDNEt on tv to see if they are covering the lauch in your area, the video is fantastic.......Local Central florida channel 1302 on Brighthouse networks....

Just checking the weather.....we have 3 1/2 hours to go and there at TCU's all over the cape bouy info out 20 nm shows >2 knts out of 110...we need that sea breeze to pich up pretty soon to move these cells towards MCO by 20nm or this will probably be scrubbed....

Speaking of the TFR......F16..wow!

i dont know if someone just busted the TFR here...would not surprise me...happens all the time....But I just had a F-16 do what looked like a 6 or 7 G turn over my house at about 1500 AGL......he was in a hurry!



Free Airshow today.......Lots of Military flying around the area....

I live 140 miles SW near Fort Myers and have seen many day light launches on a clear day

I'm located about 58 miles north of melbourne in new smyrna beach. do you think, if it's a clear day, that if i was up "doing maneuvers" that i might be able to catch a glimpse of the shuttle blasting into space?

About to walk out the door to head to the Space Center now, hopefully its not too late to talk to whoever I need to talk to to get onto the VAB roof to watch. If not, I'll find some other place.

Good luck STS-114.

Just announced.....Launch has been scrubbed. Technical problems with fuel sensors.
