So much for that idea
Well, it looks like I'll be going home empty handed. The next possible launch date is Sunday and that's HIGHLY unlikely. Reporters are heading home now, and I may end up cutting things short too. It's been quite an experience and I hope I get to see a launch in person some other time. I've still got my press credentials so maybe I'll come back if that's possible. Hopefully there will be less humidity and fewer mosquitos then!
I should add that the launch wouldn't have happened yesterday anyway due to the weather. Same result today most likely.
Big thanks to Amit and Wired News for giving me this once in a lifetime opportunity!
(I'm still going to WDW, though probably not for as long as I once planned.)

Maybe you could get down to Key West now, might even get some very good rates! I don't know if they have reopened to tourists, but the damage was much less than they expected.
After reading all these articles and so much tries and error to get the shuttle running i wonder if landing on the moon was really a reality back in 1969. And make it back? The idea puts a smile on my face :).
I find it pretty unlikely. 3 landings!!!!
Now the technology has a huge boost and still its so hard to launch one shuttle
Even so nasa anounced the next landing on the moon in 2015. I find this deadline pretty far. Technological advance in 2015 will be far..far..far from what was 1969.
This is my opinion.
