Cape Canaveral

What is the best opportunity to watch a Shuttle launch in Cape Canaveral LIVE?

Where is the best location, less crowded, best view?
When do I have to arrive? The launch will be on 6:15 p.m.
Is there a special area (access via tickets, where can I buy the tickets?)?
The launch is scheduled for August 09, 2007, 6.15 p.m.

Along US 1 in Titusville. There are several miles of unobstructed views of the launch site (about 13 miles away – but the launch tower is plainly visible). No special access is needed. The strip will be crowded and all the ‘prime’ waterfront spots will be taken, but really, you can arrive an hour or so before launch time and park west of US 1 and watch it from there. (e.g. Searstown Mall and just walk across the street to any of dozens of open areas.) Bring a portable radio so you can monitor the countdown (and hear of any delays or a scrub)

Getting out of town after a launch is a slow process and scrubbed launches are common – so if you are easily disappointed take that into a account

But I think it’s worth it. I have seen many from this site and never tire of them.
