Kennedy Space Centre Launch question

[Valerie]

There is a launch scheduled for 1st March the day we arrive. Does anyone know what time they happen. Is it usually the morning as we do not arrive until 3pm. We saw a rocket launch last year at 16.50 which we enjoyed so would like to see shuttle if possible. I know the dates could change. Just trying to plan first day.

Thanks

There is no launch window set yet for this flight. It is billed as no earlier than March 1st so it could be delayed.

Unfortunately dues to the Loss of the shuttle Columbia, all flights have now been cancelled
