Kennedy Space Center

vechicle assembly building

Saturn 5

Orion crew capsule

The KSC was a great experience. There was so much to explore and learn - almost too much for one day! The vehicle assembly building is where they actually build the space shuttles. Each of the 7 doors weighs 32 tons! We also got a close up look at the Saturn 5 which flew from the late 60's until 1975. It is the most complex machine ever built.  The Orion is Nasa's next space craft due for test flight in 2014.

It was a really exciting day and I look forward to watching the next launch and sharing it with Rowan and Morgan!
