If you are bored there is a nuc sub base just off the south east entrance leading into the air force sector of the launch facility. They used to give tours of the ballistic nuc subs, sorry no pic’s allowed of course. As far as the shuttle is concerned, I would not hold out to much hope that the bird is going off this weekend. I used work out there on site and the problem they have will take a few days longer, esp with the higher levels of QA and safety involved. And after a few days they have to unload the fuel tank and start over again, but hey may have already done this by now. But when the bird does take off it is very impressive, you are in for a treat if it is your first time.

Holy Crap! That platform is huge!
This is my first time to see it upclose.

I was at a launch back in ‘74 or so for a Voyager or some other space satellite liftoff (before the Shuttle days). It was impressive even with a small payload like that. The Shuttle will be waaaaay neat to see in person. Have fun!!!

Oh Jeff! I’m so excited for you! I’d be so emotional in that position. I get emotional just thinking about the return to space, but to get to see it? Wow! I’m so excited! Look! Exclamation points!!!!
