    Uh, NASA and various government agencies do that for you. Unless you know someone in the control tower it's highly unlikely to get within 6 miles of it.

    Glad to see people learning about things they would NOT get from random trends.

    No idea. I got there so late that after i finally found some "parking", i just ran over there to see the view, (which was really good by the way).

    Remember, this was at 1 something in the morning so i was half asleep.

    I'd love to take a Canon 5D MkII camera with HD video and put my 300mm lens on it. With a 2x teleconverter making it 600mm the shuttle would probably fill the frame lol!
