Discovery Shuttle Launch Dec 7th, 2006

Has anyone ever watched a launch while at KSC? We just happen to have bought tickets for our group and will be at Kennedy Space Center on Dec 7th. They are advertising special launch tickets to go on sale on Friday 10/13. How much are they? If you don't buy one of these special tickets, do you still get a good view?

HELP!!!!

I've watched 2 launches on base, but only with passes from friends of mine who work at KSC.

You can get a good view from a lot of places in the area; I honestly would worry more about traffic or the launch being scrubbed than not getting tickets.

Oh thank you......How early would you be there the day of launch?

We do realize that the launch could be scrubbed......

This would be a great launch to watch, too as I understand it will be a night launch. I understand that the intercoastal waterway and the ocean actually look like they are glowing orange during a night launch. We are going to try and at least head over to watch from the beach. I do understand the tickets are something like $90. I am not sure on that though.

I am hoping it will happen on time and DD and I can watch from the Disney Wonder on our way to the Bahamas!

I've never seen a launch from the KSC, but I have seen one while docked in Port Canaveral. If you get the chance to see it from anywhere, do it. It's definitely an amazing thing to behold.

Oh wow....I was so excited that I didn't realize it was a night launch. We would be at KSC all day and then be able to watch it from maybe the beach or something. Being from Pennsylvania, I don't know anything about the area. What would be your strategy?
