June 18th. My daughters an I were at Kennedy Space Center for the shuttle launch. The shuttle was scrubbed and we saw the LCROSS and the LRO launch on an Atlas V rocket, which was a spectacular sight. We then went back to NC only to drive back down to Kennedy for 3 more scrubs, a total of 5. The shuttle launched the day we got back home to NC the second time. Even though we missed the shuttle, I had a great time with my 7 year-old daughter (and wound up going back to school to get a Masters degree in Space Studies at age 48 to fulfill a boyhood dream).
Very cool story
