[Wags]

I just heard that NASA is due to launch the space shuttle on March 15. This should be able to be seen from Orlando. One more reason to attend Expo !

[Norm Walters]

The view from Orlando should be pretty good Wags, we can see it pretty well from Tampa.

[Scott Adkins]

We see it from St. Pete as well.

[Jon Olson]

Wags what time? I need to see that.

[Tom M]

Night time or daytime?

It makes a big difference.

[Sid]

You can see it in the daytime as well although it is obviously more dramatic at nite. Being that NASA has to go by the elements & that everything is running smoothly, the shuttle going up on time is not always reliable.

From the Nasa Website

Launch date: March 15+

STS-117

STS-117 will deliver a second starboard truss segment and a third set of solar arrays and batteries during the Space Shuttle Program’s 21st mission to the International Space Station.

Launch Time: 6:43 a.m.

Our plan lands in Orlando at 7:45 am so it look like we’re going to miss it if they go off on time. Bummer…

[Gary Gapinski]

Heck Chad, just look out the window to the east if you’re anywhere in the neighborhood of Florida. You sir, will probably have the best view !

[Andy Graves]

Yea, me and Val are going to go see it. Chad told me about it couple weeks ago so we think it is a no miss event.
