If that were an aircraft pilot they would be all over him/her but I guess they cut sailors some slack.
Maybe they should point a laser at the boat,,, that seems to get airline pilots attention:eek:

unless you live a mountain cave in afganistan you would know that the cape area is a zone you should pay attention to
Just afraid for another excuse for the feds tomove more restrictions on the rest of us
Yes Charlie is a tool
Perfect example of how bad DC is
Management of the Canaveral launch danger zone is the responsibility of the United States Air Force. Direct your effectiveness questions to the 45th Space Wing, Patrick AFB.

Thanks Gunni,

Tomorrow the zone roughly extends 35 miles off shore and about 20 miles of shoreline, (not accurate but my quick guess from Lat/Long given by Patrick AFB). That must be close to the edge of the Gulf Stream. I would have waited and watched the show.

Who-hoo! American manned-space launches are (almost) back baby!
