I was out in Florida a few years ago when a launch was scheduled. I got tickets for the launch, like a little school-kid - went out there on the day and....
Cancelled! :svengo: They had a liquid hydrogen leak, so I can't really blame them. I was offered tickets for the rescheduled launch, but it was after we returned to the UK. So near, and yet so far. :ack2:
:)We saw the penultimate launch of the ill fated Columbia back in 2002 at 6.30am on a cold 1st March morning. It had been delayed day after day due to scares about the cold temperatures causing problems with seals in the fuel system. We thought we were going to miss it but it finally went up the morning before we left, what a finale to our holiday. The singularly most impressive man made sight I've seen. Sadly it broke up on re-entry on it's next trip.
