Tuesday October 23, 2007 - KENNEDY SPACE CENTER: The VC (Vistor's Center) sure has improved over the years! The last time I was here for the launch of Discovery (STS-29) on March 13, 1989, there wasn't much to see. Now you can spend an entire day here. Here's the Rocket Garden, the Shuttle Launch Experience (awesome simulator!), the Mercury Program Mission Control room, and Explorer - a full scale Shuttle model that you can walk through. You can even walk on the same gantry service arm that the Apollo 11 astronauts walked on before their famous trip to the Moon! Tours of KSC and Cape Canaveral AF Station can be purchased, and I'll cover them in another blog. Good job, NASA!
