NASA's Kennedy Space Center NASA managers have decided to postpone the next launch attempt for Discovery to no earlier than Nov. 30 at 4:05 a.m. EST. Details will be discussed during a 1 p.m. news conference on www.nasa.gov/ntv.
Nutz.
Unfortunately, I am booked solid and can't make the late Nov./ early Dec launch window, so will have to try to get back to Florida for the February launch.
Fortunately, I still have a STS-133 Kennedy Space Center 2 day pass and Causeway ticket. Wonder what that will fetch on eBay. Just looking to get my money out of it.... We'll see what Meg Whitman's legacy does for me.

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.
Discovery Rolls to Pad Tonight

At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, space shuttle Discovery will be moved from the Vehicle Assembly Building to Launch Pad 39A, with first motion scheduled for 8 p.m. EST.
Meanwhile, at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, the STS-133 crew is in the virtual reality lab today rehearsing robotic techniques that will be conducted during the second spacewalk by Mission Specialists Steve Bowen and Alvin Drew.
Discovery and its six astronauts are targeted to launch on the STS-133 mission to the International Space Station on Feb. 24.
