Members of our Internet list may be interested in viewing the article that I 
have 
written for SPACE.com concerning visiblity of the upcoming night launch of 
Discovery that is scheduled for Thursday evening:

Based on my "visibility footprint" map, the best region to watch the 
Shuttle's powered ascent to orbit is across the Carolinas, where both the 
solid rocket 
boosters and three-main engine burn (to MECO) should be visible.
