Kevin,

Could you arrange for a launch delay until say Friday? I think my wife, daughter and grandchildren would like to see it.

I'm coming down from TN to shoot it! Not gonna be in the vette though.

A friend of a friend has a condo where you can see the launch pad. I'm not familiar with the area, but I'm told there's a bay and it's across from the pad. Gonna set up there and shoot some pics.

I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!

Not to cause trouble with the taxpayers or astronauts, but, I'm hoping for a delay 'til the weekend so I can take my 7 year old up to see history

I've been busy since the launch but a big thank you to Kevin...I enjoyed it very much...I was in the line for a burger and behind me are two guys wearing ribbons...turns out they are close friends of one of the astronauts...one guy grew up with him and went to grade/high school together...the other guy was his roomate at West Point...funny part is they didn't know each other till right then but had a lot to talk about...
