Thanks guys for the Ben Cooper and Grill's references... I believe all the lodging facilities must be all occupied with anticipation for the launch, no? Maybe even now may be late for reservations... edstrick, yes I thought about it, I have a month, it would be quite a blow to have to return home without watching it due to delays... -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"

For the shuttle yes, for a Delta II no. ELV launchs come and go and few people take vacation to see one of them. Only the people working on a specific launch are staying in the hotels (but there are 100's more rooms than workers)
