It's cool because where I live Cocoa we also get to see every rocket launch as well. I can't wait for the upcoming Aries test (the next moon rocket). It's supposed to in August or Sept.

Haha. Me too. I live in Merritt Island, right off 528, close to the cape. All I have to do is stand outside.

I never heard about the Aries test. Sounds neat.

Oh alright. Awesome. Hopefully it actually goes off this time. My girlfriend will be up here from West Palm tonight, and she's never seen a rocket/shuttle launch, so that'll be cool.

I LOVE DRIVING FOR LIKE 13 hrs round trip with endless traffic and NO LAUNCH YEEHAWW. lol I made it to the wendy's on US1 in titusville WEEEE. Dragged the mom all the way out there too.

I should probably learn to check the weather more thoroughly.

So I made this trip to go to Wendy's and eat at Crackerbarrel later, productive.

Alright, as far as I know, the launch is scheduled for 1846. Anyone know if it's still on? It was raining over here, earlier. Although the rest of the sky looks pretty clear.

well im watching NASA tv right now, they are doing countless checks on the shuttle.

btw whats the launch for? i heard on NASA tv that they will not take of as there will be bad weather for landing, yes he said landing not taking off... are they going up to do some checks on the satalite or just a test flight? i heard theres a new test pilot, whats the deal ?

I honestly don't know what the launch is for. I'm guessing it's going to be scrubbed again. Thundering over here, now.
