Greetings from Cape Canaveral !

  Hi All

     We're having a great trip but internet access has been anything from fair to poor to none existent.

So I'll make this as short as I can. This past Tuesday, Wendy & I spent at the Kennedy Space Centre.

The Second Pic shows a picture of the International Space Station now served by the American Space Shuttles and the Russian Soyuz program. There are only two more Shuttle launches. The last in April 2011.

After that the Russians will maintain and service the Space Station exclusively.

The Third Pic shows Launch Pad 39A where most of the Apollo (except Apollo 10) and most of the Shuttles were launched from. We also saw Launch Pad 39B (Apollo 10 and the rest of the Shuttles). 39B

is presently being dismantled.

The Fourth Pic shows Yours Truly and the Vehicle Assembly Building where all the Apollos and the Shuttles

were assembled prior to launch.

The Fifth Pic shows the Lunar Module used on Apollo's 11 to 17. There were scheduled to be 20 Apollo missions but the last 3 were cancelled. This and the Apollo Command Module plus the SaturnV rocket and booster are displayed in a special building. You can see a portion of the Saturn V rocket booster to the left of the Lunar Module. It shows the immensity of the building.

The Sixth and last Pic shows the Space Shuttle Explorer now retired and on display with ramps so you can look in, take pictures, etc...

   I will attempt to send another entry ASAP. Take care for now!
