Well, a change of plans....looks like Ill be heading down for STS-105. The scheduled astro-encounterer is J.L. Chretien. Anyone ever met him at the AE? What are his signing policies? If it sounds good, Ill be bringing along this photo:

I am 3/3 on night launches and 1/2 for landing. Anybody planning to visit KSC around from beginning of Nov. to Nov 20? I have vacation time and thinking of traveling that direction for my sixth time. |

This is my fourth trip. 93 and 101 were scrubbed (93 at 7 seconds! and 101 three times in a row!). Finally, third time was a charm for me, as sts-100 blasted off on time. Also note that of the last 7 launches since sts106, 6 have gone off on time (not 92); and the last 5 in a row! So lets do it again!!!

Maybe I'll see what is scheduled for next winter and try again. If I got before the end of Jaunary, my season pass will still be good for KSC. Tom |
