The best place to view the shuttle launches, is of course, from my office here at KSC.
But seriously, for those wishing to see a spectacular view, Spaceview Park in Titusville is the best. I live here and have seen many, many launches. We have taken our boat out in the rivers and watched it from there, also the beaches are good too. Remember, you have hours and hours and hours to wait for the launch to go. If it's scrubbed, your time is wasted. I try and do something I would enjoy anyways, like hit the beach, so that if it doesn't go, or even it does, you can just hang on the beach afterwards and enjoy your day!
We are rolling out tonight - for the February 24th launch.
