South east intersection of Challenger Pkwy and Alafaya Trl.

Challenger is the first light north of Colonial Dr. (50)

I'll definitely be there, the food at that place is so good. :rolleyes:

So, I'll be in Disney that weekend for my school's senior trip, but unfortunately we can't leave Disney property to check out the regional.

HOWEVER, if any FIRSTers feel like setting up an expedition into the park, let me know! :)

Wow! OUr school gets a senior trip at the end of the year in April. (But they don't have to come back when it's over) so ... I guess that's why ours is late. I can't wait to be a senior. O and it's against school rules for me to leave stadium/hotel.

Is there another rumor that there is a shuttle launch scheduled for Thursday? How many regionals can boast that? Will folks be able to hear it?

We like to make everyone feel special.....

I wonder if Dave somehow arranged that?

JaneYoung 04-03-2009 17:30
Re: 2009 Florida Regional
 
If he did, I hope he arranged for those awesome NASA volunteers to stay close to the regional and not shuttle off somewhere.

edit: ok, ok, I admit it - that is a bad pun.

Yes you can hear it. But the sound will be delayed by about 3 minutes. Most people miss the sound because it's often out of sight by then (unless it's night). We always hear the sound in Daytona (50 miles from the pad) and the UCF campus is about 35 miles from the pad.

Ive' havent heard the sound in the past 5-6 launches(although I can see the launch)

And if they dident close off Playalinda Beach-I'd be out there surfing when the shuttle goes off:P

Oh I forgot. To hear the sound you have to remove the i-pod earphones from your ears ;) and then you can hear it only if there hasn't been been permanent damage to the low frequency range from too much loud music.

Seriously, the background noise level makes a big difference. And the roar probably travels quite a bit better over water.

Re: 2009 Florida Regional
 
sometimes its hard for us to even hear (we live within 10 miles of the pads :p ) depends on cloud cover and winds. That'll be the second year in a row FIRST arranged a shuttle launch near the Florida Regional. Last year it was a night launch like the Wednesday before. (I just slept through it, seen enough of them its not worth staying up till 3 am). But I would seriously recommend if you've never seen a night launch go to one before the shuttles are retired, it is probably one of the sweetest things I’ve ever seen.

If there is a launch around the time of Florida, I apologize in advance since most likely it will be delayed. One of the few launches that I can think of that surprisingly went off on schedule opened my graduation http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=67922
