Just 4 shuttle launches left and then it's consigned to the history books....how sad

I'll be visiting KSC in July ....... but no launches scheduled then

Still it's a great place to visit anyway

I'm hoping to do the tour of the historic Mercury and Gemini launch pads on this trip.

Sounds great John, even with no launches planned. Would like to do it myself one day but will probably have to wait until retirement (may have some money by then), so only 27 years to wait.
