A Trip to the Space Center











Having been blown into Titusville we went to the Space Center for the first time in a least 12 years. This day was even better than the first one. Some pictures: (1) The NASA logo which thousands use as a photo op (2) The spacecraft assembly building. This is literally the largest building in the world but by optical illusion it does not appear that way. The flag is 300 feet high. 3) The space pad has Atlantis being prepared for the next shuttle firing. (4) An unsual sighting of the crawler that moves the rockets and shuttles; it usually moves at night. It weighs 6 million pounds and moves at .5 mph. There is even more to see here; everyone coming to FL should visit. The Center is only 31 miles from Orlando
