I'm off to Orlando, and then am staying at the Space Shuttle Hotel for three days to see the next Space Shuttle leave.

Anybody seen it go?

Then off on a cruise, probably around the oil slick!!

Saw it take off two years ago - absolutely amazing even when you're a few miles away.

went i 2006 to see it but the launch was scrubbed so pissed off never went back

i went in 1997...

However i was 6 so i cant remember much of it

Went 4 years ago.

Booked our holiday around being there for the launch.

Which was postponed and postponed again until we never actually saw it.


Don't make arrangements around it...

Saw the shuttle go up in 2000 from the Cocoa River Bridge and then in 2005 sat at the KSC in the bleachers we saw a Titan 4 do up. Both impressive but the SS is loud beyond belief. I was 5 miles away and it felt like it was shaking every bone in your body.

Well worth the trip...

We were there in 2008 and there was supposed to be a Launch of a rocket (nt shuttle) and it wbumped to a different rocket in calafornia.

We went in 2008. Spent the day on Cocoa Beach and it was fantastic.

Not that my kids thought so from their faces!!
