Ok Got some busted ass mapquest directions
http://www.mapquest.com/directions/m...&2s=fl&2z=&r=f

http://www.kennedyspacecenter.com/KSC/mapDetails.asp

130 miles from Tampa. expected launch time is 3:48:00 PM EST Thats not too bad. The route looks like its pretty much I-4 all the way. How yall feel about that? I talked to my dad and he's been to a few launches. He says he likes to take 50 ( through clermont) all the way to titusville. From there he said on highway 1, anywhere north or south of titusville on 1 you have a good view of the launch facitly. He said actually getting on Cape canaveral is a bitch and we'd be lucky to get past the hall of fame museum and we do its gonna cost us. So I think we should try and get there in the early AM, get a good spot and post up

If we go that route I'll know the way from tampa. I-4 east to rt 33. that will take us to 50. 33 has a few twisties but mostly straight 2 lane highway. 50 is stop and go. But after we pass through the orlando area i dont know. Never taken it that far.

So what do u guys think? Its still 2 weeks away so if anyone has any better Ideas chime in please.

yeah...i will have to agree on taking 50 the whole way there...its stop and go here and there...but tis a more scenic route and less possibility of traffic crashes or holdups.....if we left kinda early im sure we could get into the facility and watch it from the countdown clock....
