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.
Crawler
One of NASA's two land crawlers, currently being outfitted for SpaceX missions.
Another Crawler
Another one of NASA's land crawlers, hiding inside.

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