The woman and I will be on NASA property in the VIP section for one of the next two launches. Above is a pic I took last week from the VIP area. Can't wait to see the launch.

That's the VIP section? I'd hate to see the nose bleed section :p.

I wouldn't want to be any closer, I'd rather not get blown up :p

Is it just me or does that seem farther away than the location news crews show people watching? Either way, thats pretty cool you get to see a launch...in a VIP area no less.

My neighbor is an astronaut and will be on one of the next two missions.

Wow, that's awesome. I wish him luck, and hopefully we can get the shuttle fleet back up and running (safely) ASAP.

I'm guessing camera zoom makes it appear much closer.
