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.

Wow nice. How far away are you? Hopefully it won't get delayed!

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

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

I think it is ~3 miles.

If you don't mind me asking, how'd you get in the VIP section?

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.

That's really neat...

Maybe you can videotape it!

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