Space/Treasure Coast?

I know there've been some from around here.
Come out come out!

I don't live there, but spend a lot of time in Cocoa Beach.

Love that area except driving when there's a launch. Guess that won't be much of a problem soon.

I'll be down there next week for STS-133, just visiting. I hope they get it off on time, or at least not more than a day or two maximum delay. My 2nd (and possibly last Shuttle). Also viewed last three Apollo Moon shots from Titusville & Cocoa Beach. My other shuttle was 19 years ago, wow!

Katattack, STS-135 isn't scheduled until June 28. I would be surprised if that date isn't pushed back. And, it won't end all launches, just the 30 year old shuttle system. But, you knew that.
And, you shouldn't be driving during a launch, you should be watching!
People come from around the world to view, and spend tons of money on the local economy.

Wow, wake up Space Coast. Not a single entry since mine ... a month ago.
Don't guess it would hurt to bump the thread. Here's a really poor video I made in y'all's back yard.

I really enjoyed my visit and hope to do it again for at least one of the remaining two Shuttle launches.

Sad to say but I haven't seen a shuttle launch since challenger

Bummer. You're only 50 miles from the pad. On a clear day you should be able to see the launch from St. Cloud.
Although, it would be a tad more immersive if you took the trip to the coast. Two remaining.


My condolences if your witnessing of the disaster has prevented your from enjoying subsequent launches.

Not at all, I'd go up in one myself if they'd let me. Just don't have the money to go see it, I do good just to get to school and back.
