We Choose To Go

Spent the day out at the Kennedy Space Center.  Hadn't been there since the opening of the Shuttle Launch Experience days....

The facility is awesome as always, OMG you are walking through history!  SO COOL.  All of the site personnel were great.  John, on our tour of the Vehicle Assembly Building, was an outstanding resource of personal history and insight to history at the Center, in addition to being a gracious and excellent tour person. 

Go now, while the VAB tours are still being offered.  We are in a downturn where NASA is retooling and gearing up to outsource program componenets to a higher degree, and also rent rocket science facilities out and the VAB will close to the public once some new business comes online soon.  GO NOW.  to stand where the Apollo rockets were assembled, just incredible.  The inside guy, Mike, was a great docent today, sharing all manner of answers to questions and some of his personal interactions with astronauts and HISTORY and luck, he was really great.

The new ATLANTIS exhibit opens next week, so we went all-in and secured annual passes, gotta love being a central Floridian.  Can't wait to go back next week for the grand opening.
