Theunicornhunter 2 Posted May 31, 2008 I would love to see a launch up close but they don't allow that anymore - someday maybe I'll drive down to watch across the inland waterway. As it is I got a brief 2 second glimpse of it arcing across the sky. Not only are they taking the Japanese lab - they're taking plumbing repairs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They do, you just can't get as close as you could with launches like you could with Apollo and previous ones, due to security issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theunicornhunter 2 Posted May 31, 2008 After 9-11-2001 they moved back the perimeter of where you can park to watch. Apparently there are a limited number of launch tickets you can purchase but I can only speculate what that would cost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And then could we all come as family members of the website Press? These are my sisters - takara, rickerchick, unicorn hunter .. what, ...no she's not going to be hunting while at the space center. These are my brothers - Dillard, trekz, Mr Psychic, Kor ... what, ... no not psycho, psychic ... What do you mean, move to the special security screening area!

VaBeachGuy 12 Posted May 31, 2008 I've actually gotten a couple of press passes in the past, didn't actually use them but applied for them and got them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
