That's because the answer is basically "you can't".  There just isn't
anything much to see unless you're pretty close, and there is no way to
get close without serious VIP status.

Note also that trying to view a shuttle landing is a gamble at either
major site, because they'll move an Edwards landing to KSC, or vice versa,
on a moment's notice.  KSC weather, in particular, is very hard to predict
very far in advance.
