Countdown!!!
I'm getting on a plane in two hours to head down to Florida for the shuttle launch. Bags are packed, boarding ticket is in hand, launch tickets are in my backpack. Weather is supposed to be decent, if not a bit cool.
The launch is at 4:39 in the morning on Sunday. Because of security reasons, we have to be at Kennedy Space Center at 11:30 the night before. Ugh. But our plan is that we will take my parents RV to the space center, and sleep for a few hours before the launch. And set a bunch of alarm clocks...the last thing I would want to do would be miss it after flying down.
I'm bringing a video camera with me, but I'm not sure if I'm going to use it. I'm not sure that I want to actually record it, because I don't want to be watching a once in a lifetime event like this through a 4" LCD screen. I will bring it, though, and maybe just hold it up beside my head as I watch.
Keep your fingers crossed for good weather and no delays!
