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.
It is possible to see a space shuttle launch from Miami, which is about 200 miles away from the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral. However, visibility may depend on weather conditions and the specific trajectory of the launch.
yes
The Kennedy Space Center, the launch facility for all NASA manned flights including the shuttle, is located on the barrier islands of Cape Canaveral, Florida (on the Atlantic coast eat of Orlando).
The first space shuttle developed by NASA was the Space Shuttle Enterprise, which never flew in space and was used for atmospheric flight tests. The first space shuttle to reach space was the Space Shuttle Columbia, which launched on April 12, 1981.
There were 5. Space Shuttle Columbia (destroyed in 2003), Space Shuttle Challenger (destroyed in 1886), Space Shuttle Discovery, Space Shuttle Atlantis, and Space Shuttle Endeavour.
You can not see the space shuttle on Earth, but you can see it in a rocket!
The space shuttle is called Atlantis.

yes
No you cannot because it is in space:)
Most likely called "the Orlando Airport Shuttle" - they can be quite subtle sometimes.

Yes, there is an airport shuttle that runs between Orlando Airport and Tampa Airport.
There are plenty of transportation methods which are available at the Orlando Airport. However, one might definitely see the cruise shuttle service there.
Space Shuttle Endeavour was the final Space Shuttle built. It was built to replace Space Shuttle Challenger.
