Kennedy Space Center Cape Canaveral

Ce matin, on part à la découverte d'un magasin de surf, le Ron Jon Surf Shop. Depuis la veille on dit aux filles qu'on ira faire un tour et peut-être que nous leur achèterons un nouveau maillot de bain.

Ce magasin est un attrait touristique en soi. Chaque année plus de deux millions de visiteurs passent y faire un tour. Dans cette boutique …

We departed Port Orleans resort at Disney World today and drove an hour down the road to the Kennedy Space Centre at Cape Canaveral. No shuttles out on the launching pads today but a bus tour around the massive complex to one of the viewing decks to see launch pad 39 and the original room control room that was used when they launched the fist …

Gisteravond is het hier erg slecht weer geweest met diverse weerwaarschuwingen. Daardoor zijn we wat later gaan eten bij een mexicaans restaurant. Vanmorgen zijn we wat vroeger opgestaan en naar Kennedys Space Center in Cape Canaveral geweest. Hiervandaan gaan al jaren de Nasa vluchten de ruimte in, van het Gemini project, en het Apollo project tot …

Het was een gok en we hebben niet echt gewonnen. De shuttle landde vanaf de verkeerde kant waardoor hij niet te zien was vanaf het bezoekerscentrum. Toch was het wel leuk want je hoorde de zgn sonic-boom, toen de shuttle de dampkring inkwam, heel duidelijk en daarbij was er de hele tijd het geluid van de vluchtleiding te horen. Direct na de landing …

On Monday, we headed south to West Palm Beach, but made a stop in Cape Canaveral to see the Kennedy Space Center. I had never been there before, and the last time Gabe was there he was 6, and was the day before the Challenger blew up - wow! Unfortunately, we did not make it on a day that they had a scheduled launch, but we found plenty of other …

Very educational trip to Kennedy Space Center …

The Kennedy Space Centre - just a month later and we would have seen a shuttle launch... Still very interesting learning about the Space Program - both history and future - and getting to see everything (Shuttles, Launchpad, etc.)

Another rockin highlight was a shuttle launch experience simulator - they strapped us in and took us from the …

Torsdag 15. desember ankom jeg og Roger LAX sent om kvelden etter å ha fløyet fra Orlando. At en flytur fra ene siden av landet til den andre tar over 5 timer sier litt om hvor stort USA er. Det hadde vært fem og en halv fine dager i Orlando. Regnværet som kom av og til er allerede glemt, og hele oppholdet er badet i sol hva minnene angår. Jeg kan …

Awesome! As the Americans would say, just about sums up today. We made our way to Kennedy Space Centre which took about an hour to drive. The last few miles of the drive are on NASA property with part of it being a road with the sea on both side, of course Claires thoughts were if we have a tsunami now.......

The …

The day we went to the Kennedy Space Center was Sunday the 23rd. We got up early for the drive to the Space Coast. The drive took less time than expected so we ended up waiting for the admission booth to open. We decided to take the Up Close Tour that ...

... ; As a result, I didn't wake up until fairly late in the morning. I only had a couple of intended destinations today: Kennedy Space Center and Daytona Beach.  Seeing as how it was raining again today with no change in the forecast, I figured I could ...

... much - at least not where we were. We waited a day and let it blow over anyway. Paid lots of $$ to visit the Kennedy Space Centre, but worth it. Got to see the shuttle waiting to be launched on July 1, from some distance. Walked around Saturn V, saw ...

Heute war nun also das Kennedy Space Center bei Cape Canaveral angesagt. Wir buchten die Tour, die uns ganz nah, also bis zu 3000 Fuss ans Space Shuttle heranbrachte, welches bereits auf seiner Startrampe auf den bevorstehenden Launch am 31.05.08 wartet. ...

... with a cold front, presenting a risk for the launch. Throughout the day, as I wandered around the Rocket Garden and Kennedy Space center grounds, the probability of launch went up and down, and nobody really knew what was going to happen until it ...

Kennedy Space Center was awsome!!! Its a fantastic little place for kids...and we beat them all getting there early again and doing all the stuff before they could :-) Apart from all the rockets, etc, we had a good time listening to the ...

... pleasures. There is not a great deal of this day in my memory banks, except for the seagull who managed to blacken the Kennedy Space Center in my mind. The whole world of space exploration at my feet and all I wanted was to play with a soft plastic dog. ...

... . AWESOME! That was the final launch for the Endeavor and the second to last gov't shuttle launch. We are going to try and come back to the Kennedy Space Center to see the Atlantis getting prepped for the very last lunch! To be continued in ...
