Default Desparate for Help & Advice for Launch landing viewing

However Spaceflightnow.com is now reporting that NASA is looking at a
26th launch which means I'll be half way across the Atlantic which is
a crap place to be for a launch. If that happens our tickets will be
for nothing and obviously a major disappointment for our 1st vacation
since I got home to Ireland.


But the Spaceflightnow article also points out that because of the delay
in Atlantis' roll out to the pad, the 26th date may be hard to achieve,
favorable lighting or not.

I hope you get to watch the launch. I suspect the landing, outside of hearing
the sonic booms live, is probably better on NASA-TV.

At least get a window seat on the left side of the plane for the flight here
