STS-125 Atlantis: final servicing mission to hubble: will fly in February of 2009
we would probably see 126 in SSM even before 125 lifts off :)

but I can't wait to see STS-119. another truss handoff should be nice :)

Better find me a NASA contact somehow if I want any chance of ever watching a launch...

or a vacation to watch a flight. I'm surprised that NASA (or other) don't have competition to watch flights.

I would love to see another launch live form the KSC. I was lucky enough to see the launch of Columbia (STS-73) on 1995 October 20, and it was awesome! My dad filmed the launch with my old Panasonic camcorder, so I have footage from that day (including an alligator!)

Just wanted to point out that 125 won't be launching until at least late May.

STS-114 was originally set to launch just before my birthday. So, when the Launch date was released, we booked a vacation to see the launch. But, weeks after the booking the Launch dated slipped. However, got there and saw the Shuttle on PAD39 (great sight from 500yrds away). The date and it actually flew on was my birthday, when I was back in the UK!!! grrr
