The liftoff is scheduled for 11 November.  I have not heard
what time though, but the last two or three have gone off
at 1000 or 1100 E?T.  The mission will be five days, and
it will land at EAFB.  If you have some good field glasses,
right across the lake would be a nice spot:  You get a nice
clear picture of the pad and the surrounding land and an
unobstructed view of the ascent.  Otherwise, you can't get
past the 3 mile limit (only press can get up that close,
as they are considered 'expendable' by NASA), due to
alluminum fallout.
