Rocket Launch Tonight
For all the fans in Boca or in the surrounding area, Space X will be attempting a launch tonight from Cape Canaveral. The launch window will begin at 8:30pm. I find it very fitting for this event to happen the night before the game.

Was at Disney World some years ago, and got to see a launch while at the park. It was pretty cool.

When the Shuttles were still running, it was always a blast to go and watch them. It was an all day tailgate just for a minute show.

RE: Rocket Launch Tonight
We were staying in Cocoa Beach a couple springs ago watching TV when the local station broke awY to cover a small rocket launch. Nobody had said anything to us when we checked in but we wondered if we could see it from our window. Sure enough. Really cool thing to see if you the chance! And man those things get out of sight very quickly!

How cool! My cousin married an astronaut who did several space walks. It's neat to hear what its like to go for a ride like that, especially the takeoff.

A few years back I had an Annual Pass to the Kennedy Space Center and it was probably the best pass I had from all the major parks in the Orlando area. I definitely recommend it to anybody staying a couple says longer after the game. It's not that expensive to get in and if you wanna do a tour of the complex it's only $20 more.

RE: Rocket Launch Tonight
I was in Orlando in 1988 when they did a space shot. I was watching it on the news all the way up through the launch, then I thought - I wonder if I can see it all the way over here. So I walk out on the balcony and can see the rocket boosters taking the shuttle up into space as clearly as if it were only 10 miles away. I was kind of stunned because it was so surreal. I never expected I would see it. Never will forget that. It left me frozen in place for a few seconds.
