They're saying on FoxNews they're gonna carry the launch, too.

If you're in the yellow circle, you'll see some of the SRB-powered portion, if you're in the red circle you'll be able to see the orbiter up until MECO (Main-Engine Cut Off).

The final readiness poll by the NASA test director Jeff Spaulding confirms there are no technical issues being addressed. The Range also report "go" on the weather.

Yeah. The manned version is a single solid booster. ESA is also going to a solid rocket and has tested a couple days ago. Looks good.

T+6 or T+7 is the key,, look to the south and southeast about then.. you need a pretty clean view of the horizon tho.. and good eyes. :-)

It looks like we should be able to see the Shuttle or the ISS since its orbital inclination is so high, but nooooo.
