WAITING FOR THE ATLAS ROCKET BLAST AND SPACE X NEXT WEEK

                              An Atlas Rocket will launch from Cape Canaveral Air Station today across the river from Titusville today at 2:46 pm.  I always go and photograph them.  Too bad Paul's Smokehouse is not open.  It doesn't open until 4.  Actually the launch window starts at 2:46 and lasts two hours.  So Paul's might be open and I could be in air conditioned comfort.  I ate there last night.  I had mango salsa haddock and fabulous coconut cream pie as I sat right next to the Indian River in Titusville,Florida.  Across the river you could see theNational Wildlife Refuge and the Kennedy Space Center complex.  The Space X rocket has been postponed for Monday.  More computer coordination is needed with NASA.  It may now blast off on Thursday,May 10,2012 just south of the  massive Vehicle Asembly Building  and Launch Pads at the Canaveral Air Station launch pads. There are still rockets galore in Titusville even after the end of the 20 year Space Shuttle program.
