Pink Floyd’s Roger
Waters has performed
The Wall live just once
since a 1980 tour—so
it’s a safe bet his 36-city,
September-through-December Wall tour
won’t be repeated anytime soon ( tour.roger

Let’s Do
Launch
You don’t just watch a
space shuttle launch;
you feel it pounding
your body. Now that
NASA has postponed
the last two launches
until November and
February, you still
have time to get to one.
NASA sells tickets for
the primo viewing spot
(kennedyspacecenter
.com/event-sign-up
.aspx), but they go
fast. Best free vantage:
Space View Park in
Titusville, Florida.
