I plan on being in Titusville, FL for the launch. I can't let the Shuttle program end without seeing a launch in person. Here's praying for continued good weather.

I have seen several. Every American should see one before the program ends. I hope it works out for you. Unless I want to take time off from work I guess I will have to watch over the web in my cubicle. I hope I don’t become emotional, as this is the last launch for orbiter Atlantis.
