That's the last of the space pictures, I took a few quick shots of birds outside my hotel a few days later on the same trip.
Facility Panorama (Click the full-size image for a better view)
A panorma with a view of several facilities. The location this was shot from was formerly a public viewing area for space launches, but has been deemed too dangerous since then.
Lightning Towers
3 lightning towers designed to direct bolts away from the launch pad that they surround.
Vehicle Assembly Plant
This building is where every NASA space vehicle is assembled. Again, the picture does no justice to the height of this building.
Seaside Bunker
Looking out into the Atlantic, one of the main launch platforms would have been behind me. According to our guide this little bunker was used to house sensitive equipment for detecting electricity in the air, as lightning is a grave threat to launches.
Last November, I had the opportunity to visit the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, while visiting relatives living in the area.
