       I still have questions about this. First, please make it clear
       that you must get the "tickets" at least one day before the
       launch, as there is no public access to the KSC Visitor's Center
       on the day of the launch until after liftoff.
       Second, why would anyone pay $6.00 to see a Shuttle launch when
       you can write NASA or your Congresscritter and get a car pass to
       the same site for free (or, 29 cent postage.) If you will be
       in the Cape Canaveral area unexpectedly, then you're probably
       too late for the $6.00 tickets too.

   Another good but outdated book is "Space Shuttle Log: The First
   Twenty-five Flights" from TAB Books. It was published in 1987 and
   I'm hoping it's updated to "The First Fifty Flights" soon.
   A good mix of B&W pictures, detail, and easy to understand.
