A year after the fact, I have finally organized and resized some of the photos I took at Kennedy Space Center in May last year. Here's the first batch:

Wow! Thank you for sharing. That Gus Grisom suit is very evocative with those images reflecting in the case. I am also surprised by the coke machine in space, but it would make space a little friendlier. I also like the Apollo 13 improvised checklist.

I love how outside is like a sculpture garden, only it's missles and rockets! Oh how I loved it there. Hey KTR you didn't take a pic of a single gator on the side of the road. There were dozens when I went.

We didn't see any gators. But we saw some manatees and porpoises, although not at angles that made for taking pictures. We also saw some bald eagles. Merritt Island is one big nature preserve with a few launch facilities.

Aww, too bad. The tour bus I was on had to keep stopping because they'd sun themselves in the middle of the road. And since they were on the endangered spieces list at the time you couldn't roll over them of course. Looks like you had a blast though.
