Dear Patrick and Joe, Thanks for the great advice. Hopefully, we'll get lucky and it will launch while we're there.

My family will be in Orlando until July 3 and may be in town when the shuttle launches. While it probably isn't likely that it will liftoff on July 1 as planned...
Well, as long as Joe isn't there it'll p[robably go early... :)
does it make sense to buy launch viewing a ticket package?
Depends on how close you want to be. FWIW, SLASer Patricia McWhorter used to live in St. Peterburg, Florida and would watch launches from her yard. Considering St. Pete is on the other side of the state, if launches are visible from there you're sure to see it from anywhere even close to the launch site. _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://www.utahastronomy.com
