I'm following it. In fact, the wife, the kid, and I flew down to Florida yesterday to see today's launch.

That would be great. I've visited Kennedy Space Center but have never been there for a launch. Hope it goes off as scheduled.Originally posted by Ren Butler View PostI'm following it. In fact, the wife, the kid, and I flew down to Florida yesterday to see today's launch.

We went pretty much as close as we could on the south side of the pad without being on NASA property itself: Jetty Park in Cape Canaveral. It's less than 15 miles from the launch pad. The first ten seconds were great -- but then the shuttle disappeared behind the clouds. I'm sure that it would have been spectacular on a clear day, but it was a little disappointing today.Originally posted by IndyDog View PostNo weather forecasts are ever guaranteed, even if confidence level is high.
