[sci.space.shuttle] watching the shuttle launch

mermelst@girtab.usc.edu (Lois Mermelstein) (12/15/89)

Now that it looks like I'll actually be in Florida next week, I'd
like to go watch the shuttle launch. This has probably been asked
before but...

1) What are the best places to watch from?
2) How early should one get to the Cape area to get a good view?
3) How long a drive is it to the Cape from the Ft. Lauderdale area?
4) Are night launches worth trying to photograph by someone who
barely knows cameras?

etc.
If anyone emails, I can summarize to the net, but I'm leaving Monday
morning.
Thanks,
Lois Mermelstein
