Bakker (I85)) Newsgroups: sci.space.shuttle Subject: Shuttle LANCH Message-ID: <1543@carol.fwi.uva.nl> Date: 7 Jan 91 10:52:32 GMT Sender: news@fwi.uva.nl Distribution: sci Lines: 24 Greetings Y'all. Could somebody tell me if it is possible to watch a launch and/or a landing of a shuttle. Ofcourse I do not mean a T.V. viewing. So if such is the case: - Where and how can I optain the proper information? - Does one has to enter the lanch area or can one only watch it from outside the lanch area (if either one is possible, what is the distance to the lanch site. And exactly where are the spotting areas, so I can look it up)? - Will it be busy? Is an early arrival required (e.g. a few hours, days, weeks, ...)? If not: - Why? Suggestions, comments and/or information can be send to: rtbakker@fwi.uva.nl Any help is appreciated. Rob
