However on Sunday, March 15th 2009, nothing was like the time on that wonderful Spring day on the beach, in Cape Canaveral. The sun was warm, the water cool, the people were active, and food was being cooked and served.

All up and down the area of the Florida Space Coast, people were out and about, enjoying their day until they could see the Space Shuttle Discovery launch that night at 7:43 PM. Their mission?
