We went down a day ahead of the april 29th launch , had a camp ground reserved about 20 miles west of the cape. We went to the local d.n.r. in titusville and got info on the parks. Liked space view park and got the ok to pitch a tent right up front by a pier. Around 4 hours before launch, oh well.Got about 3 hours sleep in the tent because the place was hopping all night long with people comming in. Looked for your reply Tuesday night and headed out. Thanks for getting back with good info.
@x2malandy Sorry the launch got scrubbed. I hope you can get back down there for the next attempt. I was on the Causeway, which is open to the public, but you have to have tickets ahead of time (sold roughly a month or so before launch) through Kennedy Space Center or one of the two tour groups that go there, Florida Dolphin Tours or Gator Tours. If you plan on going for the next attempt and want to spend the money, you may be able to find tickets for sale on the tour groups' Facebook pages.
I like your vid. My brother and I are going down to watch the april 29th launch. Never been been there before, Is the spot you were at open to the public? Also I like at the end when you panned right to left to give a better view of the area. I am wondering about parking and access to a rest room. We are ready to be at a spot by 5 am and spend the day waiting.
AMAZING Video. I was there watching the launch from the causeway was well, and your video brought it ALL back to me. Thank you.. :-)

@tobyb02 I'm sure, it's the only launch I've ever been to. Maybe your video was from a different angle?
You sure that was Feb. 2011? I don't have that many clouds on my video.
