Wow. A lot of people coming over from Australia.
Just a reminder to keep your eyes open for the pre-launch NSF dinner. I should have those details squared away in the next two days.

Even if you don't have the full details, any idea roughly what time the gathering might get started? I ask because today is the 21-day-advance-purchase for flights, and many (at least for me) are arriving fairly late on Thursday.
Thanks,

Hello all,
O.K. Here is the information some of you have been waiting very patiently for!
STS-132 NSF PRE-LAUNCH DINNER!!!!!!!!!
Dinner for all NSF forum members (and those who may be travelling with you. Remember, everyone is welcome) will be held on Thursday, May 13 at 7:30p.m. at Dixie Crossroads in Titusville, FL. This is the day before the scheduled launch of Space Shuttle Atlantis and the STS-132/ULF-4 mission. We will hold dinner at 7:30p.m. due to the retraction of the RSS from Atlantis earlier that afternoon at 5:00p.m.
IMPORTANT INFO: Please respond to this message with a PM on THIS SITE (some of you know me through facebook, but I ask that you please RSVP to this invite on NSF so that all information is kept in one place). In the PM (AND THIS IS IMPORTANT), please include your real name, the number of people who will be attending the dinner with you, and a cell phone number that you can be reached at while you are in Titusville. (Please note that I
WILL NOT pass on your cell number to anyone! It will be kept strictly confidential. I ask for a cell phone number because there has been some confusion on restaurant’s part in the past that has prevented people from meeting up with our group.)
It is very, VERY important that you include the number of people in your party as I will be calling the restaurant to make reservations.
ALSO, I ASK THAT YOU PLEASE INCLUDE ALL THIS INFORMATION IN ONE (1) PM, PLEASE. I AM FINISHING UP COLLEGE/UNIVERSITY AND GRADUATING IN EARLY MAY AND AS SUCH CANNOT DEVOTE A GREAT DEAL OF TIME TO TRACKING DOWN INFORMATION FROM MULTIPLE PMs.On May 13 (for dinner), I ask that you ALL arrive
NO LATER THAN 7p.m. as Dixie Crossroads will not seat us until we are all there! The earlier we all arrive, the earlier we can EAT!
Please note that Dixie Crossroads is a seafood restaurant. A complete menu (including non-seafood items) can be found at the following link along with driving directions.
http://www.dixiecrossroads.com/ PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS EMAIL NO LATER THAN MAY 7, 2010 AT 7p.m. EDT (I will call the restaurant at 7:30p.m. May 7 to make the reservations.)[/i][/u]
For all of you travelling up, down, over, around to Titusville to witness the final launch of orbiter Atlantis, I wish you all safe travels and clear skies. GO ATLANTIS and GO STS-132/ULF-4!!!!

Looking for a cell phone to adhere to the 'one e-mail' policy
I can't stand cell phones...despise them. But now I seem to need one due to the 'out of town' circumstances, and how fluid this whole situation could play out, so best to have one.
Don't worry, I'll make the e-mail deadline

What an experience in trying to get tickets, I had the causeway tickets one minute the next they were gone !!! I did manage to get the KSC viewing tickets, I guess thats better than nothing. Hopefully the event will be very memorable, I will be amongst the crowd with 2 little boys and my wife, maybe we might bump into some of you guys there.

I reckon us foreigners should wear something 'native' to identify us by, flag pin, t-shirt, hat, other??
The pin gets my vote, easy to organise and recognise...

When I visited the launch of STS-114 and STS-121, I allways wore a NASASpaceflight.com T-Shirt. Some people asked me about it, and learned that way that this incredible website exists. I also met some forum member just be because he saw my shirt. If you see someone on May 14th at the KSC wearing a T-shirt with a NASASpaceflight.com logo on it, it's probably me.
