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.
Entry
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.
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.
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.
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.
Last November, I had the opportunity to visit the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, while visiting relatives living in the area.
