silver (12/21/82)
After watching STS-3 from 12 miles away on the Merritt Island Causeway (along with 500000 other bozos), I wondered if there was a BETTER WAY. Sure enough, there is. Write to the Public Affairs Office at Kennedy Space Center, Florida (zip = ??) and request a CAR PASS for the shot of your choice. They respond in a few weeks with a postcard telling you if you'll get one, are on the waiting list, or what. The pass is spozed to get you 7 miles away, on the KSC Causeway. Haven't tried it out yet; I'm hoping for a good spot for STS-6. Also, if you are or know a VIP, you can apparently get limited invites to the viewing site on the Cape. Anybody out there a VIP?
