I've been to two launches and it sounds like you have been given a list of key sites.

To find a hotel--and you might have to grab a room ASAP--I'd go onto the Hilton site; enter the city, state of interest (i.e., Titusville, FL) and list all brands by distance.

If you haven’t seen a launch before, it’s really breathtaking. It’s one of the few times that I have felt good about paying taxes.

I think you know already that many launches get scrubbed, so you’re already managing your expectations well.

Enjoy the trip!
