Kennedy Space Center

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Atlantis Base

    The solid state rockets and liquid fuel tank for the Atlantis Space shuttle, The picture doesn't do any justice to just how massive this is.

  • Lightning Towers

    3 lightning towers designed to direct bolts away from the launch pad that they surround.

  • Space Shuttle Atlantis

    The retired Space Shuttle Atlantis. 'Murica!

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