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. Phil Karn
