Let us know:
From which country are you traveling?
How many are in your group?
When you arrive/depart?
Your name?
First launch?
Anything else you'd like to share?
Are you interested in a pre or post launch get together?

Thanks for the info TISM. I checked out the website and looks like they aren't on sale as yet. Do you have any idea when they will be available ? I would hate to miss out because of our date & time difference.

Great to see so many from outside the U.S. coming in! I'm from Texas so I obviously don't count, but it's awesome to see the foreign support! And Robert - I'm in that same boat. Saw Discovery on the back of the SCA after STS-128 last September.
