I just saw this post.. myself and 3 coworkers are planning to head over in the morning from Tampa. We have no idea what we're doing, don't have passes, but really want to try and see a launch! If you get this in time and have any advice, please contact me immediately! I can get email on my blackberry at michael.d.ellis@us.army.mil
I think our current plan is to go to the Titusville area..

Thanks!

Launch Info Update

I have a phone number you can call for updates on the launch. Anyone who is coming over for the next attempt should call this before coming. 1-877-893-NASA. I heard today of someone who drove up from Miami never listening to the news, and wondered where the bus was.

We'll be leaving Orlando in about 45 minutes to stay ahead of the traffic. Hopefully no bad weather/etc!

Here's a few photos I took from the spot we were at Friday. One with the shuttle in focus, one with Chris/Ginny in focus... I took the liberty of combining the two to get everything in focus. Due to the distance between us and the shuttle, and even with a high apature setting, the depth of field wasn't enough. Chris/Ginny were about 20 yards in front of me for this one.
