Well we have seen it. This morning we went down to the water side with our chairs and binoculars and cameras and settled down to watch the shuttle Discovery take off at 11.38 a.m. A number of people had radios, so we could to listen to live broadcasts. The launch was a very impressive sight. You needed binoculars to see it properly, but I managed a couple of pictures. The only problem we had was that there are 2 shuttles on launch pads, one obvious, the other hidden by trees, so of course we were almost all watching the wrong shuttle, still we realised the mistake in time to see it lift off.
If Sally feels well enough we plan to tour the space centre this week. In the afternoon we went to Cocoa and Cocoa Beach to do some sightseeing. (Me, Carol and Ron, John and Anne), then we had a BBQ in the evening. A very pleasant day.

We've had better fireworks at Cowick than that Terry.
Seriously it sounds like a great time being had by one and all.
I take it y'all won't be at Eggborough.
