I may see a launch

Post by ApolloXI »

One of the very imporatant things on my list of things to see in my life is to see a rocket launch. I will be in Flordia next week. I will be in Jacksonville which is about 2hr away from the Cape. If I can convice my parnets to go I will see a Delta 2 Rocket Launch. We have been to KSC before but we didn't see a launch. If we do go I I hope to see Space Station 3d I will even pay for it with my own money.

thats cool! i hope you get to see it
there was supposed to be a launch of a delta rocket the last night i was in florida, thatswhy the crawler was crawling, and we were staying in cocoa beach, so i could see the cape, and there were a buncha people out on the beach waiting for it to launch but it was like really windy and cloudy and going to rain, so they didnt launch. i was sad. the next night when we were back home my dad saw on cnn orsomething that it had launched.
and meg, thats so cool that you know someone on sts 115. where are you going to college?

Cool. I want to either double in mechanical and aerospace or physics and aerospace, or major in mechanical engineering with a concentration in aerospace.

we tried to go to a launch a couple years back because my best friends's cousin was on that mission but it didnt go off until a week alter becasue of computer problems, but we did get a full access pass that the families usually get like we got to see them come out across the street right before the launch and stuff like that it was pretty cool.
The thing that drives me most is that people tell me that ill never be an astronaut. My love and passion for space will lead me to new heights, hopefully back to the moon or mars.

I am 90% sure that on June 16th I will be at KSC becasue me family is going down to tour FIT. Since FIT is not far from KSC we will go there, plus the engineering department of FIT only has tours of on thursdays and we get into Orlando on tuesday and drive down to Melbourne that day.
