After the Everglades it was back up the East coast to a campsite at Mims, Fl. just 25 minutes from the Kennedy Space Center. We looked at the web on Sunday night having already planned to go over to the center on Wednesday. To my delight there was to be a rocket launch on that day, between 9:00 and 12:22. The shuttle launch we hoped to see has been scrubbed till Feb. so this was by far the best day for us to go to the NASA. We got video and everything.
These were wonderful oranges.
Yvette stayed home for a quiet day today.
The very ramp Armstong, Aldrin and many more entered their rockets from.
This is the Falcon 9 rocket.
We got to hear the live countdown. The launch pad was about 4 miles away.
