It appears to have opened a little earlier than 10pm... I can't believe I actually looked at the right time, I gave up over a year ago trying to register and just got the bug again! :shock:

I look forward to meeting all of you!

And I'll be on the watching a shuttle launch. Or watching the footage I filmed if it goes up on schedule.

12 years in Florida and I've never gone to see a shuttle launch. We are booked into Manatee Hammock campground, very close to the lauch pad. I wish I could afford a tele adaptor for my camera; the wide angle adapter set me back $500 used!

I'll be starting the course map this week. Had a great layout in my head after the school, but have long forgot it. Back to the drawing board. :roll:

Still in my head. No wait, it's on the drawing board...or is it on my computer. Hmmm, where did it go? Where in the World is the FAST Course Map? Looks like I might have to make it a challenge to view the course map once it's done (password protected pdf maybe?). :lol:

You know I don't look at course maps anyways, so I just put everyone else at a disadvantage to me :) Thanks for the idea!

Actually I was thinking the course would spell out the word FAST, you'll have to back up a few times, but hey, I've got full reign right? LMAO

I don't think we have any official noise limits, but it's a concern at SPC -- they've already banned us from using the PA system. Up to Steve and the event chair.
