Got our tickets on Friday, to view the launch of Endeavor in April. We'll get to see it from the causeway. Can't wait.

I was able to see the shuttle on vacation this past week. Went to cocoa beach and it was relly cool to see, even if from that far off.

Speaking of which, did you guys hear about the guy that fell off the launch platform and died?

Well shit, the launch has been delayed.

My tickets to see the launch are still good, but I had to change my hotel and rental car reservations through expedia this morning. They pinched me for an extra $150.00.

Oh well! Need to make changes in my flight now.
