>>I’ll be at the May 14 launch of STS-132. I just can’t let the Shuttle retire without seeing at least one launch.<<
I might make that one as well — where is the best viewing spot?
The one I saw (night launch), I just sorta stopped where a bunch of cars were stopped on the highway between Orlando and Cocoa Beach...
The best view has got to be from the grandstand near the mission clock but I doubt that I could get in there. I'll be watching from a McDonalds parking lot in Titusville. A parking spot facing the water. Food and free Wi-Fi service for the laptop. I checked it out in Google Earth and with luck I'll have an unobstructed view of the launch.
