2008 12 02 Kennedy Space Center

It was an early start this morning touring the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral. A huge complex that will certainly take more than one day to take in everything. We're planning to return on Friday to do just that.

A guided tour took us through the entire Kennedy Space Center (KSC). This state-of-the-art Complex is not an Amusement Park - it is a working scientific complex. A amazing place to visit and work. It was fascinating walk down memory lane.
