Space Shuttle Launch ~ August

Has anyone ever been to one at Kennedy Space Center? *I'm supposed to be in Orlando from Aug. 27-30 for work and Atlantis is scheduled to launch on the 28th.

I see that KSC has sold out of their special viewing tickets, but I'm wondering if there are other legitimate sellers. *They do still have tickets available for viewing from their facility. *Is that worth it? *What else would I need to know? *How early do you have to plan to arrive etc?

I think this would be an incredible experience! *Any information anyone can provide would be great.

We live 20 minutes south of the cape and are big shuttle fans. We can see it GREAT from our front yard, don;t know anything about purchasing tickets for the launch. The space center is great and worth the admission cost. You could contact them to see how the viewing is from the center without purchasing special tickets. Please remember OFTEN the launch is delayed and doesnt go on the scheduled day so I don't want you to be disappointed.

Thanks! We are completely aware of this and don't have our hopes too high, but we want to at least try.
