No it cannot be viewed from Miami. Orlando at a push on a very clear day. The nearer the launchpad the better!

Where can you watch the last space shuttle launch?
you will see the last space shuttle launch in... and in a place called...
Can you see space shuttle from Miami before it enters space?
yes
Is a space shuttle a rocket?
The space shuttle is a reusable spacecraft. It has 3 main engines powered by liquid fuel which are used to launch it into orbit with help from similarly reusable solid fuel boosters (the white rockets along the side of the shuttle during launch). When returning after a mission, the space shuttle is unpowered and glides back for a landing. See related question.
Where can you see a space shuttle launch?
Cape Kennedy is the best viewing followed by Titusville and the Cape Canaveral area are best. Kennedy Space Center sells tickets to the prime viewing area a few weeks before each launch. For those who cannot travel to the area, you can watch the launch on the internet through NASA TV. However there are no more shuttle launches.
What spacecraft does NASA commonly use?
It depends on what your definition of "spacecraft" is vs NASA's definition. NASA considers anything flying in space to be a spacecraft. However, many not in the Aerospace industry only see launch vehicles (the formal term used to describe vehicles that carry men and machines into space) as spacecraft.For launch vehicles, aside from the Space Shuttle (formally known as Orbiters or Orbiter Vehicles) NASA routinely uses many different types of launch vehicles, U.S. made and those of other space agencies that NASA works with.Some of the more current common launch vehicles that NASA has commonly used or is considering for use in the future are:Manned Flight Launch VehiclesSpace Shuttle Discovery (OV-103)Space Shuttle Atlantis (OV-104)Space Shuttle Endeavour (OV-105)The Space Shuttle incorporatesSolid Rocket Boosters (SRB's) and the External Main Tank (EMT), which holds a volatile mixture of liquid hydrogen, liquid oxygen, and other extremely toxic propellants, are also considered as part of launch vehicle system.Un-Manned Launch VehiclesUnited StatesNASA Ares I-X Rocket (2009)Orbital Sciences Taurus RocketOrbital Sciences Minotaur RocketUnited Launch Alliance Delta II RocketUnited Launch Alliance Delta IV RocketUnited Launch Alliance Atlas V RocketEuropean Space AgencyAriane RocketVega RocketJapan Space AgencyH-2 RocketNASA launch centers are:Kennedy Space Center - Space Shuttle, Launch Pads 39A and 39BCape Canaveral Air Station (on Merritt Island across the causeway from KSC)Vandenberg Air Force Base (between San Francisco and L.A.)Wallops Flight Center (Chincoteague, VA)The individual launch centers are responsible for the launch vehicle and its payload up until the mission clock starts, which is when the countdown ends and the vehicle is launched, sending the clock into a positive count denoting mission start. At that time, responsibility for the vehicle and payload shifts to the individual mission control center. For examples, the Space Shuttle is controlled from Mission Control in Houston, Texas; Mars missions and deep space probes are controlled from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California; The Hubble Telescope is controlled from Johns-Hopkins University in Columbia, Maryland.Past NASA Launch Vehicles:Redstone-Atlas Rockets (Mercury Missions)Gemini-Titan Rockets (Gemini Missions)Saturn V (Apollo Moon Missions)Space Shuttle Challenger (OV-099)Space Shuttle Enterprise (OV-101)Space Shuttle Columbia (OV-102)There is a plan now to phase out the Shuttle in 2010 for use as a taxi service between the ground and the ISS, with the responsibility for that going to the Russians. After working for 9 years for NASA in both Manned and Un-Manned Flight Programs, I can honestly say that nothing worries me more for the future of the U.S. Space Program. The Russians have historically been late on everything they do, and over-budget to boot. They are one of the main reasons the ISS was delayed for so long in getting off the ground.NASA plans to replace the Space Shuttle with the Orion Spacecraft, which is based on the Apollo moon vehicle design. It is currently in development.

Space shuttle abbreviations ET?
The ET is the External Tank. It is the large orange tank you see attached to the Shuttle during the launch phase.

Can you see the shuttle in space?
You can not see the space shuttle on Earth, but you can see it in a rocket!
What is the most popular attraction at the Space Center?
The Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex at NASA's Florida Kennedy Space Center is an educational and historical space where visitors can see shows and exhibits. By far the most popular attraction at the Center is the simulated space shuttle ride called Shuttle Launch Experience. The bus tours of the launch sites are another popular offering.

What is the name of the space shuttle that went up into space to see if they can grow seeds in space?
The space shuttle is called Atlantis.
What bears all the weight when the space shuttle is upright on the launch pad?
The shuttle is mounted on pedestals. The Solid Rocket Boosters (which are the white rockets on the side) are also clamped to the pad. See the images in the related links below to get a better idea. Zoom in.
Can i see space shuttle from Universal Islands of adventure?
No you cannot because it is in space:)

When is the next space shuttle mission launch?
The next shuttle to launch is Discovery, flying mission STS-133.The final missions scheduled for the space shuttle program are:- Endeavor on STS-134, slated for launch 27 February 2011- Atlantis on STS-135, slated for launch no earlier than 28 June 2011, but funding is pending the passage of an appropriations bill.What_is_the_next_of_the_shuttle_that_is_flying_in_the_next_missionKennedy Space Center are opening the NASA causeway so the launch can be viewed from the 6 mile point. For those that need to see the launch it is unbelievable to view it from the NASA Causeway definitely the best place.After NASA sell out of tickets (they always do) there are 2 companies that sell tour package to the NASA causeway and they have affiliates that resell their products. Take a look at www.spaceshuttlelaunchtours.com as they price match guarantee and it seems to be the same tour product that everyone has but slightly better prices.Good luck - hope you make it out to see it!
