Tomorrow morning at the crack of the crack of dawn (4:39am), the last night launch of the current space shuttle fleet will occur at Kennedy Space Center.

Endeavour is 80% go for launch!

Launch is now down to 30% due to low clouds.

I got to witness first hand the last night launch they had. It launched around 12 am and the sight was amazing! There is nothing like seeing/feeling a launch in person...I wish I had been closer to it though =[ We were afraid they were going to scrub the launch, as we could see lightning off in the distance from our vantage point...from a storm that was off the east coast of Florida

I watched it on TV. I got home from the French Quarter after the Saints Super Bowl victory....since I could not sleep. A night launch is spectacular....we saw one in Nov 2008.......MGC
