When the weather is clear, Space Shuttle launches from Kennedy Space Center in Florida are visible hundreds of miles away. My brother and I viewed the launch of the Space Shuttle Discovery March 15, 2009 from the observation tower at Boca Ciega Millennium Park in Seminole, FL. The park is west of St. Petersburg and Tampa. Here are some flight details from NASA.gov: Mission: STS-119 Orbiter: Discovery Primary Payload: S6 Truss Segment and US Solar Arrays Launch Date: March 15 Launch Time: 7:43 pm EDT Launch Pad: 39A Mission Duration: 13 days Landing Date: March 28, 2009 Landing Time: 1:43 pm EDT Landing Site: Kennedy Space Center, Florida Inclination/Altitude: 51.6 degrees/122 nautical miles
