The flight path of a shuttle is very complicated but in a general sense the shuttle travels to the east. I don't think it is visible from south Florida. The best place to check for information on future launches is Kennedy Space Center

This is to 2nd Grade - I can't speak for the astronauts, but I imagine that sometimes they are. check Living in Space to find out about the astronauts and living in space.

Stonewall - check our multimedia page for links to NASATV. This way you can watch the launch live on the web.

Please let me know what Tv stations might be covering the launch? I need to record it so we
can watch it in the classroom!

The only station that I am certain carries the launch is NASATV. Certain cable tv companies do carry it. You need to check with your local company. Otherwise check our multimedia page. You can click on the link for NASATV or use our interactive webcam to focus in on launch.

Hi--I watched the launch this morning from my backyard near Tampa--outstanding! Just moved to Florida from Alaska, and would like to watch the landing as close to on-site as possible. Where's the best place for the public to watch the landing? Thanks. -LH

I was looking at the video of the 3-1-02 launch, and at about 1:35 into the launch I can swear that it looks like flames are leaking from one of the solid boosters back up towards the bottom of the main booster tank. Say it isn't so.

When the booster rockets separated it looked to me like gas and flames completed engulfed Columbia for a few seconds. Did anyone else see this?
