My uncle is retired from the USAF at Patrick AFB just south of the space center.  He can get me into the observation area 3 miles away inside the NASA gates.  For those that aren't that lucky, I would recommend Jetty Park in Titusville.
Wow, I'm jealous.  That is what you might call a ring side seat for sure.

Gonna' bump this one again with this image.  This picture is of the new Ares I-X rocket perched on launch pad 39B at the Kennedy Space Center here in Florida.  This is the replacement vehicle for delivering humans to the ISS after the retirement of the space shuttle next year.  It's also the vehicle for returning men to the moon.  Interesingly enough, in the distance, you can see space shuttle Atlantis perched on launch pad 39A awaiting launch on what is to be its second to last mission.

Ares I-X is scheduled for launch (weather permitting) at 8 AM this morning (Tuesday).  It will be covered live on NASA-TV which can be viewed by clicking on the link in the very first post on this thread.  For those of you who are up, it should be interesting to watch the launch of this brand new rocket.

Also, I would encourage any of you who live within travel distance of the Space Coast here in Florida to visit if you have any desire whatsoever in viewing a space shuttle launch.  There are only 8 missions left in the program.  Two for Atlantis, two for Endeavour, and two for Discovery.  It really is quite a sight to see and I would encourage everyone to make the trip and see it firsthand prior to retirement of the fleet. 

I'll even drive up and meet you there and we'll watch it together.

Best seats in the house originate at Skydive Space Center in Titusville!   :biggrin:

I think I read somewhere that those guys go out and "fly" with the shuttle every time it launches.   Pretty cool idea!

If you lived there and you could, why wouldn't you?  It isn't like you don't know going into it that conditions will be perfect!

Looks like they might get the Ares I-X off the ground at 11 AM.  Stay tuned.

They're picking up the count at 11:04 AM for a launch at 11:08 AM.  Check the feed on page 1 of this thread if you want to watch.

Unfreakin' believable...what are the chances that I go back to check out the live feed at exactly the moment the rocket is leaving the launch pad?  Thanks for providing the link, Locutus!

You're quite welcome!  Glad you got to see it.  I try to keep this thread updated whenever there is any sort of a launch going on just in case people want to check it out.

As an aside, I noticed that the next test flight of this type (Ares I-Y) isn't scheduled until September of 2013 (almost 4 years from now).  I wonder why such a long gap between tests.

Space Shuttle Atlantis launch this afternoon at 2:28 PM.  Catch it on the feed on page 1 of this thread.  This is the second to the last flight for Atlantis and 6th to last in the entire program.  Only 5 more shuttle missions remain after this one.   :(

Last night launch of a space shuttle in the wee hours of Monday morning.  NASA will launch Endeavour at 4:14 AM EST.  For any who may be early risers, or insomniacs, you can watch it on the video stream on the first post of this thread.
