My husband is back in our old PBC stomping grounds, however, about 5 minutes ago, he and my dd had to begin heading south to catch their flight this afternoon. I'm bummed they most likely will now miss seeing it. Waaahhh.

A new flight profile load is being created from the upper level wind speed and direction information gathered by weather balloons sent up from the Cape through the countdown.

They should be able to see something if there are no clouds.

When I lived in Tampa, I could see the main engines of the shuttle as it gained altitude 80 miles away in broad daylight.
