My ds and I ran out front but too many clouds .

We saw a bit. There was a small break in the clouds and it appeared and then disappeared. But it still counts!

Well at least government sponsored spaceflight for America.
There will be American astronauts, they will just have to hitchhike their way into space.

Well, I think there's potential for a lot of positive things from private space flight in the coming years...I thought I heard a rumor of another "X-prize" for the first private flight to the moon, but can't recall where I heard it.

We went to KSC and paid to take one of the more in depth tours. Discovery was in the launch pad then. I was felt like a kid getting to see it there. Even though we couldn't see the shuttle itself, it was awesome to see everything in place. I hope I can make it back to see one of the last few scheduled shuttle launches. I think this would be so awesome to see. Especially since we took the tour and you find out everything that it takes to launch the space shuttle.

I can't remember exactly, but I want to say our tour guide told us that there are already different space crafts being made that will replace the shuttles. I forgot what he called them exactly, but it was interesting to hear. I'll have to ask DW. She might remember, or my bf might remember. He's really into this stuff and might remember what they're called.

My 11 year old wants to be an astronaut. I hope something will be going up again soon.

Was on the parking garage at the MCO airport...with about 2hundred others...but the cloud cover was to much, and were only able to see it for about 5sec before it was gone
