... not really.

 

But if you attend the NSTA Conference in Ft Lauderdale on November 12th, and you happen look north shortly after 4 pm, you may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the shuttle Atlantis speeding from the launch pad.

 

The Kennedy Space Center may be 160 miles away, but the shuttle casts a pretty bright light. STS-129 is scheduled to deliver some equipment to the International Space Station. Be sure to add the hash tag "Ft Lauderdale-NSTA" to any pictures you take of the space plane (and upload to Flickr), so your images will appear in the NSTA Fall 2009 Conferences Flickr Group.
