Shuttle Launch Titusville

[jack14r]

There is a shuttle launch scheduled for 2-12-09 and I am considering going to Titusville,can anyone recommend a campground and the best place to view the launch.

Jack, Stay at The Great Outdoors and from there you can drive to any number of places to see the launch.

Personally I would go to Port Canaveral, but there are numerous places to park.

The guy who flew on our right wing on the flight to OSH is the Flight Dynamics guy in Mission Control Houston and we were quizing him on just this thing. I think several of us are thinking about making this shuttle launch, so maybe this is a mini rally opportunity?

I know the Krakman will be there because the ACME factory is in that part of the country....

I could get in on this, we watched from a rest area last January on the way to PSL.

We could watch the shuttle launch and the acme air strikes.

This is in Jody and Bills front yard at Titusville.

Yep, keep me posted.

Jerry,I have been told that there are some special tickets that senators and government officials can get,can the mission control guy verify if that is true.If it is true I will contact my senator with a donation and try to get some.

Jack,

I am thinking the same thing, so I will chat him up and find out what the deal is. I am hoping for some insight and maybe a pre-launch tour, so I hope he is the in the know.

If the senator route is correct, I know the Oklahoma senator well, but neither of the Texas ones, so I am sure between us we can somehow come up with some seats if they are to be had.

I'm in, tickets are available at Acme for their Premium Account Customers, so Jdub and Mango can hook us up.

We could get on board for this one too! I'm afraid we don't know any Senators though......Many years ago Bob's business made a part for the arm that holds the space shuttle.....I doubt that would get us a ticket though JDUB, a tour would be very cool! Any suggestions on how to get tickets, where to meet, where to stay?

[jack14r]

Jon's suggestion of The Great Outdoors looks very nice,it is also in the big rigs book.
