Hi Brad, I am confident I will have my aircraft flying well before then, so I can launch from Minnesota with you.

Don't rush your build. Actual launch dates can be easily predictd by starting with the date announced by NASA HQ (inside the beltway - they don't actually know what hardware looks like) and running it through a simple 17th degree polynomial with factors that include the stages of the moon, Dow Jones average for the predicted launch date (recursive element) and several unknowable variables.
Take it from someone familiar with launch dates - don't make non-refundable hotel reservations!
Will be a neat launch however!

Cool, thanks for the invite!
With any luck my RV-7A project should hopefully be up and flying by then, so please (provisionally) count me in.

Suggestions to mods
What if we we move this from Test/misc to Places to Fly/Things to see? Then revive three years later to check on those promises? Won't occupy much space in the archives

Okay, Vlad, good suggestion, so I moved it. Also, since Doug had this on the front page of today's VAF news, I thought he wouldn't mind. Hoping to meet you someday, Vlad.

Space Lanuch
Back in September late on a Friday night I flew to just south of Wallops Island, VA to watch the LADEE rocket launch (mission to the moon). It was spectacular to see the rocket from 5500' AGL and 10 miles away. Nowhere near as big but still very impressive!
I'm in.

I am in. This sounds like a lot of fun, both for the launch and other RVers meeting up. Will you be working with Doug Reeves to set up a site with details. You will need a bigger boat. Back in the 60's when I lived in Eau Gallie (Melbourne now) you could walk out on a long jetty to get closer. that path is probably long closed down.

In. Last one I saw was 13 - from my front yard.
I've been looking at the schedules trying to figure out when I can see one.
Looks like the next date I might be able to make is May 1 at Wallops.
