NASA...















We first were treated to a great lunch at "Grills"...it is at the port near Capes Kennedy and Canaveral...Harmony and I had Mahi Mahi sandwiches and Sweet Potato Fries and Mike had a Grilled Ruben...I tell you...we have eaten our way clear across the US of A and the meals only get better and better...We sat on the deck outside and let the tropical breezes blow us right through Lunch...then off to the Capes...The Pelicans were just an extra added a attraction...














These are either the Atlas or Delta Rocket launching pads...and this is the door to Harmony's office here on the Cape...she is an EOD...(Explosive Ordinance Disposal person)...pretty impressive huh???














These little numbers are my favorite things in the world...besides my kids and grand kids that is ...Lighthouses have a large part of my heart...I guess the ability to help, guide and save those who are lost...that's the hook...















These are the covers for the exhaust cones for the shuttle...and a bomb type rocket that was left by the Army group that us to do the same job that Harmony's group does...











Seeing the "VAB" (Vehicle Assembly Building) as we were getting closer ands closer was very exciting...there is lots of smoke...smoke from Georgia obstructing our view...











This picture is of the container that they keep the very large fuel booster cylinder in...




This picture below is a view of the gravel path that the "crawler" takes to move the Shuttle from the "VAB" to the Launch pad...it moves very very slow...with many people walking and riding along side of it to make sure it arrives in perfect condition...The one next to it is the NASA Administration Building...






These are pictures of a shuttle Launch that were e-mailed me...
I'm gonna publish this tonight and finish all the other pictures from that day in another post...it'll just work better...
