The launch is scheduled for just after 4 PM.
One place to go is Titusville ( http://www.titusville.com/page.asp?navid=204 ) which is near the NASA facility. It's about a 2 hour drive from The Villages. The big problem will be the traffic, especially people trying to see the final launches. It is definitely worth going to see a launch. Be prepared to spend about 4 hours getting back to TV because of the traffic leaving the area.
