[diannezzz]

Any ideas what time the shuttle will be launched if it does go up on May 15th? I was wondering if we might be able see it from the ship before leaving Port Canaveral... diannezzz

Hi, diannezzz. Here's the NASA link to that mission - http://www.nasa.gov/returntoflight/main/index.html -

There is a window from May 15 to June 3, so maybe yes, maybe no, while you're in Port C. Normally, they do not announce the liftoff time too far in advance, so keep checking. ENJOY!

Hi Diannezzz...

I live just 40 mi north of lauch area. If you are anywhere along the coast line you will be able to see the launch. Do keep up with launch activities and windows. A night launch should be able to be seen a few hundred miles away. It is very glorious! I hope you get to see it!
