Several months ago, I recall reading that it is possible to get
into the press viewing area for shuttle launches by requesting the
appropriate passes ahead of time through the mail.  Unfortunately,
I lacked the foresight to save that article...

I will be visiting Florida during early to mid October and I think
there is a chance of my being there to view the STS-41 / Ulysses
launch from pad 39-B.  I know that the launches can be viewed from
certain spots in the Titusville area (thanks to the recent posts on
that subject), but it sure would be nice to get a bit closer in.

So... is there an address I can send to to receive passes for this
launch (Oct. 5 or later, probably) ?  Anything that can get me
closer than Titusville would be appreciated.  Hopefully it's not
too late.

Thanks in advance,
