Watching a Space Shot?

Gramie2 asks: "I was toying with the idea of throwing my son in the car and driving for two days to watch the latest shuttle launch. I didn't, but it occurred to me that I don't know the logistics of going to watch a launch. Where is the best place to stay near the site? Where do you view from? I imagine that there are restrictions, so do you have to get tickets or make other arrangements ahead of time? How do you find out the launch schedule? What about smaller launches? How do they compare? Is there one time of year that is better than another? Does anyone have other recommendations for the whole experience?"

If I hadn't used the last of mine on the UK vilent porn ban a few minutes ago, I would give him +1 for that.

So anyone with mod points, please do as kunwon1 suggests and give parent some karmic joy! That was a good post!
