Me and my family will be in Florida from 23rd August-6th Sept and so we will be able to watch the launch of Shuttle Discovery on the 25th August (lets hope it Isn't delayed as much as the last one!)

What I want to know is that where is the best place to view a shuttle launch? I actually know someone who has been invited by Nasa to watch it from the 'countdown clock' area because one of his relatives is going up in that space shuttle!!

Unfortunately I am not that lucky so can I have some recommendations for the best launch viewing spots?

By the way we will be going to the 'viewing spot' by car from the Orlando area (staying in Davenport) so if any roads will be closed because of the launch, can you also let me know about that.

Thanks
