[net.columbia] Watching Shuttle Launches

karn (03/12/83)

Back around the beginning of the year, I wrote a letter to the Kennedy
Space Center public affairs office requesting a car pass to see STS-7
(STS-6 had already been booked up).  Today I finally got a postcard back
with the following items checked:

"NASA has announced that the 7th Space Shuttle launch will occur no
earlier than late May.  A pass (for a vehicle no larger than a van) will
be mailed to you about three weeks before launch.  The pass will enable
vehicle occupants to view the launch from a site on the Kennedy Space
Center.  Please keep informed of launch status through your local news
media."

Just thought people would be interested in what to expect if they
applied for a pass.
