Any Pelicans going to be in FL for the Falcon Heavy launch?

Its set for Feb 6th. I think I'll jet over for a few days to try and get lucky on timing. I'll also visit my son down in Fort Lauderdale. Would be great to meet up for a beverage if anyone else is around

hmmmm I'l be flying into fll on the friday. But we were going to head south instead of north.....


For its first test mission, the Falcon Heavy will launch a dummy payload. Specifically, it'll send a cherry red Tesla (TSLA) roadster from Musk's personal collection...........When asked on Twitter why he wanted to throw away a $100,000 car, he replied, "I love the thought of a car drifting apparently endlessly through space and perhaps being discovered by an alien race millions of years in the future."

It is on a Tuesday at 1:30 pm, if it were later I would try to shoot up, I am about 100 miles from there. I would have to pull the spawn out of school to make this one.

I have pulled him out for the last space shuttle launches and for a Dragon Launch.

This should be an impressive one.

I used to live in Cape Canaveral, if you do not want to stand with the masses on the Causeways. Try going down to the A-1-A corridor in northern Cape Canaveral.

Cheri Down Park is right on the Ocean and has bathrooms.

Also any side road down Ridgewood Avenue to the south from that point will have beach access. I lived off of Fillmore, so the beach at the end of Fillmore was "My Beach" to this day I instinctively head to that beach, for nostalgia reasons.


I would love to meet up for a beer Richard, not sure I am interesting enough for you to wander 30 minutes off the interstate to meet up though, Jensen Beach is right on the east coast but pretty far removed and not easy to get to.

If you feel like seeing a small town shoot me a email my screen name at gmail dot com.
