Leaving shortly for Orlando to watch the shuttle launch!

“NASA launch managers this morning cleared space shuttle Endeavour to lift off before dawn Sunday from Kennedy Space Center in Florida, one of the five remaining flights before the shuttle program concludes this year or early next”.

MSNBS:

Night shuttle launch may be seen on East Coast

It is likely to be the last time NASA’s shuttle takes off in darkness

“People in the eastern United States will get a great opportunity, weather permitting, to see the space shuttle Endeavour launched into orbit early on Sunday morning, Feb. 7. And it will also likely be the very last opportunity ever to see a space shuttle blast off at night”!

 Good thing we booked weeks ago!!! 

Good luck getting a hotel room anywhere near the pre-dawn launch of the space shuttle! “Our hotel occupancy for this is going to be a good 90 to 100 percentile.”
