Topic: Space Shuttle Launch Live

Bottom line... there is a revolutionary solution out there. There are things people are trying to invent for the greater good of humanity that big oil is shutting down. I believe the puzzle pieces are out there... they just have to be put together... BEHIND big oil's backs.

We could do it!  We're so small and obscure that the big oil companies will never... notice... (turns up dead the next morning).

And I can't believe we turned this into an E&C thread (though to be fair, that's partly my fault, and it does feel more respectful).

SO! How about them shuttles? Will I be seeing anyone there for Endeavor's final launch next month?

[NUMBERZero]

I think I'll be there. Schedule is a bit crazy, though.
And no, this derail was my fault

Not much chance of me seeing any shuttles launch on anything but the TV, I'm afraid, and I might not even be able to do that.

@Omega: Where do you plan to view the launch from? I'm hoping to get into the Kennedy Space Center itself, but I had to register for an "opportunity" to buy tickets from the Kennedy Space Center. That window is only open from 3/2/11-3/9/11, and random people will be selected for that "opportunity" to buy tickets. If I don't get selected I'm probably going to look into Jetty Park, but Kennedy Space Center better send me a confirmation soon. I know a lot of hotspots are probably going to be sold out fast!

My father-in-law wants to go down there to see the launch.  I hope he gets the chance.

I just go across the water to Titusville. It's kinda crowded, though.

@Omega: ACK! Don't wanna hear the screaming babies!!!

[-<WillyP>-]

There are few sounds in this world that are worse torture than listening to someone's baby screaming.

Very true.  Unfortunately that's what happens on public transit .  Sometimes I switch busses (as long as the next one isn't coming half an hour later -- I'm looking at you, Route 20!)
