 The Shuttle Launch Pad by K.Knight
The tower stands 347 from ground level to the tip of the lighting mast, which itself is 80 feet tall and grounds the Pad from potential weather hazards. An important floor on the structure is the 195th, which is the point where the astronauts enter the orbiter. At the far end of the level is the Emergency Egress System which is a rapid escape system for any crew on that floor during an emergency. On the same level, the Orbiter Access Arm allows astronauts and support crew to enter the shuttle while it is on the pad. Other arms on the structure feed fuel into the External Tank and helps vent excess gas. Leave a Comment

 The huge rocket system by K.Knight
The Apollo/Saturn V Center was built as a tribute to the Apollo Astronauts and the machines that got them there. The simulated take off room is the most amazing thing I have experienced and when it is over, you are allowed into the Apollo/Saturn V Center which features all you ever wanted to know about the Apollo program and landing on the moon.
This experience will blow your mind! Leave a Comment

 POWER by K.Knight
The two SRBs provide the main thrust to lift the space shuttle off the pad and up to an altitude of about 150,000 feet, or 24 nautical miles.
Each booster has a thrust of approximately 3,300,000 pounds at launch. They are ignited after the three space shuttle main engines' thrust level is verified. The two SRBs provide 71.4 percent of the thrust at lift- off and during first-stage ascent. Leave a Comment

If we'd gotten there earlier, we would have signed up for the tour of launch pads, the crawler, etc. Soooo cool.
