Should pass over us from south to north between 4:00am and 4:45am.

I remember watching one of the Apollo rockets in the early 70s take off and it was visible with the naked eye all the way down here.

My wife and I are gonna try and see this one "in person" too if we can.

Better watch out, the space shuttle door gunners frown upon that sort of thing.

HaHa...Foil hat time.

Anyway looks like it's another scrub. Vis at the Cape is 1000ft. and weather is poor. Mostly cloudy here so nothing to see anyway. NASA is holding til 0515 to see if she goes at 0600 or scrub again for the next day. I'm off duty at 0500 so........
