Central FL Peeps...

Where's the best spot to check out a shuttle launch? Hoping to get a lead on the secret local spot instead of dealing with the masses at a public site.

A boat on the banana river.

Failing that, the intersection of hwy 50 and US1 in Titusville.

The absolute best is on-site. I've never been, but hear it's pretty cool...

Here is a pretty relevant thread if you do not remember it:

This one has a really neat video:

I would like to see a launch up close one day. Good luck on catching it.

I purchased 2 "VIP on site tickets" to watch from the causeway.

But now I'm thinking I should trailer the boat to FL, figure out where I can splash it in, and watch from the water. Sounds dope. Meh.

I could see the shuttle launch from Jacksonville

Couldn't hear or feel anything, just see the trail.

I watched a bunch of Asian kids run through to North Lawn near the Reitz pointing to the sky and I hit the deck.
