Space Shuttle Launch.

Does anybody know where I could find out about when the next Space Shuttle launch would be? I'm having a hard time finding out information and I'd like to see one before they're gone.

Its a crap shoot when the one after that goes up. If everything goes well then soon after. If not, it could be another year or two.

IIRC, I heard that the July launch has a 14 day window in which it could be launched, so obviously it'd be in the first two weeks of the month.

Thanks Kevin and Josh for the replies.

If you plan to go see a space shuttle launch... good luck. Back in July when I was in MCO and they launched the first one in a while, the whole 528 (Beeline Expressway) that goes from MCO to the Cape Canaveral area was a parking lot (the whole 50-60 miles or however long it is) the morning of the launch, I can't even imagine how the Cape Canaveral area must have been.

Not sure how the next ones would be, but since they are getting pretty rare, I wouldn't be surprised to see large crowds all the time, especially in the summer when everyone is in MCO on vacation.
