No Launch Today

What a disappointment. We left at 0800 to avoid the 250,000 people estimated to be here to watch the shuttle launch, only to have the mission scrubbed. But as you will see by the photo, I was ready to launch into space. We weren't quite as lucky on the return trip to Orlando. Traffic was bumper-to-bumper in spots. It was still coming into Cocoa Beach when we left, since they hadn't yet heard about the scrub. We're not going back tomorrow, although they haven't announced the next launch attempt yet. So, since there was no launch we walked the beach (see photo).
