NSS will be supporting the launch by distributing copies of Ad Astra magazine free to the public at Space View Park in Titusville (directions here). This is a great location with live audio and video plus a great view of the launch pads! Come out and share the experience of a shuttle launch!
Well, we tried! We were all ready to go for each launch attempt. Great work everyone!
We are *not* planning to support the Jan 2 launch attempt as it will be early in the morning and attendance is expected to be quite low.
Stay tuned for information on supporting the next launch in Feburary!
We DID support the successful launch on February 7 and handed out hundreds of Ad Astra magazines! Thanks for all of the support from Fred and Al!!
