Shuttle Launch OCT 10: View from USO?

[patster734]

sorry Mr. Sneetch missed it sure know what that's like...almost as though u do need a couple week window of time & flexibility , safety 1st though!

that said, anytime after 11 am on 10/18 is okay by me

Thanks. Fortunately, I try to look at the positives such as not worrying about transportation to KSC and possible viewing tickets. I'll be able to spend the whole trip at Universal!

Still, it would have cool to see. If it gets delayed to your dates, have fun and take pictures!

Here is a shuttle launch back in May, from the bridge between MIB and Amity

It's pretty distant, but still cool. Would have liked to have had my zoom lens and a tripod, but I forgot there was a launch that day!

This just in....Local news stations reported the shuttle mission has been pushed back to sometime in 2009. Sorry you all will miss it this year.

The November mission will stay as scheduled and launch first now; scheduled for Nov. 16, it may move up a couple of days.

I know ... it's a bummer, but this means we'll have more time to spend with our Florida friends

thanx todd, didn't see that before now...honestly, i give up trying to coincide a trip so far in advance, never seems to work out; nature of the beast i suppose/safety first.

think i'll save up some schekles & just try to catch a cheap fare down/back before the program is closed
