Right at the entrance, we were greeted by an array of rockets used over the years. The specific names of all the models escape me, but the largest one is the legendary Saturn 5 model - the most powerful machine ever built by man.
Saturn 5 Rocket Base
The business end of a decomissioned Saturn 5. Walking the length of this rocket takes minutes! 20 tons of fuel per minute would flow through here.
Lightning Towers
3 lightning towers designed to direct bolts away from the launch pad that they surround.
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.
