Don not forget the Jacksonville Jaguars, on the other hand never mind, ;>)

I haven’t chosen a launch date yet, so it might be the one you plan to attend anyway. Want to be on the list? You don’t have to go.

Sounds like fun

I’d like to go to Universal, go to City Walk and bask in the nightlife.

No thanks, but thanks very much for the invitation though ;>)

[sig226]

Okay. I didn’t tell him to go to a Devil Rays game, either. :)

Thanks for the ping! Sounds like a great idea.

The only fly in the ointment for me is that it is an hour and a half/ two hour drive, and a few times it has been scrubbed in the last ten seconds. Still would be fun though to meet a bunch of FReepers and hang out, if its not during my M-F 9-5 work hours.

Keep on pinging!

Is that a pic of the space shuttle in there?

[synbad600]

Yes. You can just see it bursting from the clouds on the bottom, a little to the left of center.

Okay, I’ll keep you advised. I haven’t been hosed yet, although I’ve only gone twice. I didn’t make the night launch last year because they kept changing it. Late in the year looks best, NonValueAdded said they’re discussing a December launch. That seems like the least likely to be scrubbed due to weather, and if people come from out of state, it is least likely to bring them into a hurricane. I’ll have to look at launch windows to see what looks best.

[sig226]

Fawn are you interested? It takes me about three hours to drive there. I keep the cruise set just over 70 and I stop at one of the rest areas for a Coke. It’s 165 miles from me.

All I need to know is the number of Freepers. The stove is fired with wood, and I can always run several batches. The wok is 30 inches wide, and will cook a goodly number of wings.

I have a number of good friends in Titusville & Mims, so cooking rice will not be a problem.

Strictly BYOS (bring your own sake).

[sig226]

This ping is to let everyone know I’m still working on it and I have three new people for the list.

[synbad600]

The night launch on 12/09/06 was phenomenal. Unreal. I watched it from the beach.

[wastedyears]

I’ll certainly go to one. I would suppose just to keep me updated.

Thanks, sig

Thanks for the ping, Sig

The December launch is on the unofficial schedule at the Kennedy Space Center. Lift off is scheduled for 4:30 pm. It's a ten minute launch window if it goes that day, so there won't be a day of sitting around wondering if it will go. They haven't put the full launch window up yet, so I can't offer the alternate days they might launch. I'm not sure when they'll add the full window, but this looks like the one.
