tour the nasa kenedy space center

[200WINS]

Scott, if you have never been to the Kennedy Space Center and are interested in the space programs it is very fascinating. I have been there before and I was in total awe of the size of the rocket engines and apollo rockets. and oh yes the shuttle is cool too. To stand under a three stage rocket and puting into perspective the amount of fuel and size of multiple engines that those Astronauts were sitting on top of is really amazing!!

I know it will be a cluster to get out..But that's all part of doing something different. I think like Geoge and find the space center incredible..We're in for the drive..Because if you want to do it up right,then just do it..

Same here...going to try to be first into the drivers meeting and one of the first to do it, so getting out isn't a mess!

After reading the hotrod article on this, sounds like a driving tour after the departure Sunday Morning. Might be pretty cool to be able to drive through the KSC in your own car. Hmmmmmmm I think I will still have breakfast in Sanford........

agreed.....the KSC tour does look cool, but, if I read the schedule correctly, the car part of the tour is 9:30-11:00 am on Sunday morning; still leaves a lot of drivin' to Valdosta; thik I'll stay in Sanford.....rexx

Count Us In!!!!!

[Buckeye]

[TonyFields]

We are in!

Still thinking about it. I want to go very bad it might be the only chance to ever see it. Just it will cut the time short for the drive to GA. The only way I think to make it work would be to hit the highway stright to GA afterwards and run a good pace. Can anyone tell me traffic on a sat afternoon is like heading north in the middle of the summer months?? Maybe we can get a few to run together I might be in for it.
