The launch was due on Tuesday 27th but got dealayed so we decided to visit Titusville to watch the launch on Wednesday. We had read that we could watch FREE from Titusville - Space View Park but in fact ended up just by Merritt Island. We were lucky in that we parked next to a lady whose husband was an Operations Engineer at the Space Centre. So we had a direct line in to get up to date news.

The rocket launched at 11.30am that morning and what a site it was. From where we were we had direct line of sight and an unobstructed view of the take-off.

A Space Shuttle Launch is scheduled for November so if you get the opportunity head for Titusville.

After our once in a lifetime experience we headed off to the Dixie Crossroads Restaurnat in Garden Street. We went for the Broled Rocket Shrimp (Titusville being the only pace to get them) and they were amzaing. Great service and great food.
