It’s long been a dream of mine to see the launch of a space vehicle. I came pretty close back in 2003. I just happened to be in Florida in late June when I discovered that the second Mars rover, Opportunity, was set to launch. The night of the launch I waited on the beach along with about 50 or 60 other people, but a line of storms was moving in and the launch got scrubbed. I was gone by the time the launch actually happened.
Yesterday I was watching television and realized that the Space Shuttle Endeavour is set to launch this Wednesday. Since I am currently jobless and I don’t really have anything to do, I decided that it would be a perfect time to make the trip and see a launch. So I’ll be leaving out tomorrow morning and I hope to be there around mid-day on Tuesday.
