[Scan-DC] Shuttle launch - visible from Eastern Shore?

[edtobias at comcast.net]

Unfortunately, though, the weather here at KSC is 60% NO-go, due to low ceiling and showers.  The forecast for all three trans-Atlantic abort sites is also NO-go tonight....so I wouldn't bet on seeing a launch from any location tonight.  Tomorrow, the KSC forecast is 70% NO-go.  Saturday, it's 60% NO-go.  Sunday is a little better but Tuesday is best.

As we say....stay tuned.

Ed, KR3E (3.5 miles from Launch Pad 39-B)
