OK now the the problem is solved and we got off on a Kennedy Space Center tangent, here is my best KSC story.

We went up for a night launch of the shuttle and didn't want to park in the place where we usually do for day shots, so we drove up US1 to the causeway that leads to the space center.

It was blocked off, and we on the exit ramp to ask the guard where a good place to watch a night launch might be.

She looked around, moved the barricade and said, "Go in".

It took us to the viewing area you see on TV. With the bleachers where the press sits, near the news cameras, and that giant digital clock.

We've never been this close for a launch, and the shuttle is up there with spotlights on it at night, looking like a sci-fi movie.

We think, "Wow! We're really IN!"

And the clock tics down and right before the launch it stops. I remember 10 seconds, Leilani things it was 3. The 7 second difference doesn't matter. The launch was scrubbed over a computer problem.

And we were sooooooo close.
