Shuttle Launch
There is a shuttle launch for thursday at 9:35pm at night. It should be spectacular. Supposedly it can be seen all the way to Savanah Georgia. If the clouds don't stop it. I now plan to watch it from Orlando International Airport. You won't find me near the coast on a shuttle launch day unless I got VIP seating. It took me a couple of hours before to get away from the coast.

It looks like the weather is going to be WORSE for the next few days, so I'm hoping that they will be motivated, with respect to safety, to get it in the wind tonight rather than waiting...... I'm dyin to see a night launch!!
