The answer is of course, yes, it is most possible to watch the launch of the
shuttle.  Thousands if not hundreds of thousands do for each one.  Both
Pro-Canaveral and Pro-Magic bbs's, networked to Internet, have files available
from their servers giving specifics on what to do, where to go. Or you can
call my bbs at the number below and as a guest read the Kennedy Space Center
files.

I personally like to drive to Mims, a small village north of Titusville, and
go over to a small boat ramp on the river directly opposite one of the shuttle
launch pads (probably 15 miles away as the crow flies, maybe less) and watch. 
Very little traffic going and coming there via back roads from Orlando, as
opposed to the main arteries.  You can get a visitors pass to the center
itself if you write far enough in advance, and if the launch is not a D.O.D.
mission.

Enjoy!

Mike
