On Monday we went to the Kennedy
Space Center. It was so cool to actually see the Discovery Shuttle on the lauch pad. It launched the next day. Wish we had decided to see the launch but the crowds would have been hideous.
The used shuttle engine was especially interesting to Scott. That is the platform that is the closest to the launch pad you can go. Across the road was that crawler that carries the Shuttle to the launch pad. The building far away in the picture is much bigger than it appears. It is one of the largest (cubic foot) buildings in the world. That is where they assemble the boosters to the shuttle. The long dark things that look like windows are actually doors that take hours to open in order to get the shuttle out.
