Or do they close it off for security concerns? We went there on Saturday and you could see the launch pad with 5 miles.The external fuel tank was on the pad. It was so visable and clear. So we want to go back there again on July 1 for the shuttle launch. Is the Merrit Island Wild Life reserve open that day?

The refuge will be closed Wednesday, June 28, 2006 through Saturday, July 1, 2006 due to the scheduled shuttle launch on 7/1/06. If the shuttle is delayed, the refuge may be closed for an additional time period.

a number of people have given you some mind-blowing motives the following already, so I gained't repeat them. i will talk about that the technologies has no longer more desirable sufficient, and authorities regulation has no longer loosened sufficient, to let an "monetary gadget of scale" to ensue with area holiday. the first widely used objective laptop turned right into a authorities undertaking observed as "ENIAC" that took up an finished room and and had constrained calculating means. Now, besides the undeniable fact that, you need to purchase pcs that you carry on your hand which cost some hundred funds and performance 1000 x the computing means because authorities is not any longer the governmentplace to bypass to get one. competition has more desirable technologies and diminished costs.

the closest you can get is the viewing station that you saw the shuttle from (5 miles). If there is no launch planned you can get closer but only with a guided tour.
