Gonna see the Discovery launch tonight. Anyone ever been to watch?
My first time seeing a shuttle launch. My school is 40 mins drive from Kennedy space center.
I went the first night and was really pissed when they called it off. Really hoping the weather stays away or they realize there is nothing left to fix.
UPDATE:

Here is the spot i was at for the first attempt of the launch.
Man, i really really hope the weather isn't a bother later.
You will love it, I use to go when I lived in Florida, it's amazing.

This starts off in gainesville but it looks clear is you pan out. so in other words. THIS IS MISSION CONTROL. WE ARE GOOD TO GO. I REPEAT, WE ARE GOOD TO GO.

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.
You are not done. You still have to watch Ferrari, Jaguar, Aston Martin, Alfa Romeo, Lotus, Corvette, Ford, Maserati and Grand Prix greats.Shit. Lol. Hey that Victory by design video is amazing. Thanks for the link.
I have them all on by big hard drive. Some of the stuff i can recall in my head.
That is where i was.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.
Just much closer to the first building on the left.
Glad to see people learning about things they would NOT get from random trends.
Is that the causeway or the visitor complex?That is where i was.
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.
Keep them comingYou are not done. You still have to watch Ferrari, Jaguar, Aston Martin, Alfa Romeo, Lotus, Corvette, Ford, Maserati and Grand Prix greats.

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!
All i got is a camera phone.
Well, im hitting the road.
X fingers for the weather.
I might be down there tonight.. not sure.. Just depends on hows i feel.. i watched the cloud cover as the sun went down.. it looks like it should be pretty clear
I could explain what it is like, but you will just have to see for yourself.
One of my friends' dad works for them and he is there. I am hoping he sends me pics!!! If he does, I will post. I wish I could see something like this in person!
Cool shit
The launch was awsome ya'll it was so beautiful how it lit up the night sky.. i'll check tomorrow if any of the pics came out. but i was more focused on watching then takeing pics. its just an experience that cant be said in words.
Definitely a beautiful sight at night...

Well, i did say that i did not bring my camera, but i didn't say my roommate didn't.
Most incredible thing I've seen in my whole life.

We were far away enough to where it wasn't deafening but you could tell the energy coming from it. It took like 2 minutes for the sound to reach us.
where are you going to school?
i grew up in ormond beach\palm coast fl and we used to get up on the roof to watch the shuttles take off
usually you could track them long enough to see them drop their boosters
also anytime they had a shuttle land in the cape instead of tx
the sonic boom would scare the shit out of you if you happend to be outside at the time
