As you know the Shuttle program ends in 2010. If you haven't had the opportunity to view this spectacular event, there are a few more launches scheduled before the program terminates. I'll list them for you so you can plan ahead of time. Hotel rooms on the Space Coast become very coveted during lauches; it's wise to plan months in advance if possible
NOTE: Have a backup plan as launches are notorius for being cancelled. Perhaps consider the Theme Parks, our wonderful beaches or plan on touring some of our amazing Nature Preserves.
I'll list the Shuttle flight schedule followed by the Rocket launch schedule.
If you're coming to town please let me know, perhaps we can get together.
All dates and time are subject to change.
