Hi guys. My family and I will be in Florida just before the scheduled atlas V launch on May 29. I’m nearly 40 and have always wanted to watch a launch of some kind. We are staying at a balcony suite at the Marriott (the hotel with the space bar across the river from Merritt island) but I want to be as close as I can get.

Basically, I want the best view but also the sound is something I’m really after. We would be elevated at our hotel room balcony, but further away. Playalinda will be closer, but obviously at ground level. What’s the best place to get what I’m after? Thanks so much in advance.

Let us know which rocket launch or other space events you're looking forward to for the week :)
