Yes. If I can see it from Tampa, FL, than you can definitely see it from Orlando. If you are in South Orlando, then look due east. If you are in Central or North Orlando, then look ESE. The shuttle is supposed to launch 6/17/09 at 5:40 a.m. since it will be dark, there is now way you can miss it even if you do not know what direction east is. I am in Gainesville, FL (Go Gators!) and I can see it when I look SE. It is awesome. I remember driving on the Florida Turnpike at night and in the middle of nowhere I say what looked like a new town, but later realized it was the shuttle launching. It lit up the entire sky. You are lucky to be in Orlando since you are about 50 miles away. When I say the Shuttle launch in Melbourne, you could actually hear it (standing on the beach). The sound was almost a minute late, but it was still pretty cool.
