- That's because the answer is basically "you can't". There just isn't
- anything much to see unless you're pretty close, and there is no way to
- get close without serious VIP status.
-
- Note also that trying to view a shuttle landing is a gamble at either
- major site, because they'll move an Edwards landing to KSC, or vice versa,
- on a moment's notice. KSC weather, in particular, is very hard to predict
- very far in advance.
