Tomorrows shuttle launch

We are planning on (hopefully) seeing the night launch tomorrow night. Where would be the best place to see it from at 2.30am?

We usually just park up on the Causeway looking over to the launch pads but wondered if there is somewhere better to view if from, preferably with some facilities as we may be there for a while.

You may welll find Jetty Park is open for the launch. They are for daytime ones, we went for the launch of Cassini some years ago at 4am and they were open.

Rosie, We were out there for the last night time launch and the view we had just standing out on the deck at our house was fantastic.I could not beleive how clear it was.

Thanks Steph and Norma.

Steph can you see the launch pads from Jetty Park?

[Frosty]

Where abouts is the launch pad within the center?

[rosie]

Neil the launch pads are almost on the coastline. If you have a look on Google Earth you should be able to see them [msnsmile]

Shame it was not for a week later. I would have loved for my Dad to have seen a launch. Rosie, do you know when it is due back please?

[Karen]

Thanks Lesley. We should hear it as it lands then [msnwink]

Lucky you. Every time we have hoped to see one it has ended being postponed days ahead of schedule. We've never even got to the day before! Hope you find a good spot.
