4. Boy that would be great!

To actually be there for a launch would be the ultimate, but seeing it from your office building is still beautiful. Here's hoping that they accomplish their mission and come home safely.

6. Yes it is, Saw a launch from Jetty Park once

Got there at 4:00AM for a 2:00 launch.
It was awesome, that is all that can be said.

9. I think that is one of the absolute best places to view a launch!

I've seen some rockets go up from there and it's something to behold.

5. i just rented the Imax movie "Space Station"

which was so inspirational. I'll never look at a launch and mission the same again. Go Discovery!

8. I can usually see it but not this morning.

Too cloudy/hazy. I'm a hundred miles SW of the cape. I saw the Challenger (Christa McAulliffe flight) explode. Very tragic. I wish this crew all the best.
