Ontopic Mission to Uranus

[Duke]

Doesn't the V sit right out front of the building, though?

No. It's inside, displayed horizontally in it's display building.

You're probably thinking of the Saturn 1.

They had it outside last time I visited (late '90s, so quite a while). I'm glad it's inside now.

It's possible. I didn't get to KSC until the mid 2ks.

The one here at JSC sat outside forever, until about 10 years ago they made a building around it and finally cleaned all the birds nests out of it.

So, it turns out KSC opened their Saturn 5 center in 1997, but the 5 was on display outside the Vehicle Assembly plant before that.

JSC did theirs in 2007

zomg, @APRIL and I are putting on our snow gear and heading to KSC tomorrow. Turns out there is actually a night launch, so we bought tickets to it as well. EXCITING!!!

Schedule a solid two hours for Atlantis.
God it was beautiful.

Make sure you visit the Challenger and Endeavor memorial before you leave that building.

Please take a shit load of pictures and upload the best ones here. I don't think I'll ever be able to visit there, and @Mr. Asa 's pictures were a treat.

Will do!

 

[MacG]

Will do!

If you include lots of you into the pics and as less as possible @flys, it'd be much appreciated.

 

[APRIL]

I'm usually the camera person.

 

[APRIL]

So I'll be sure to get tons of pics of @flys butt.

 

[MacG]

I'd hit it too anyways.

 

[Floptical]

Yeah but that shouldn't default to @fly as the model. You keep taking pics and leave him out of them.

Numbskull, dimwit what's the difference. I'm still an idiot.

But you're our dimwitted, numdskulled idiot.
And we wouldn't have it any other way.

You're making me blush.

I was a smart kid. Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if I didn't get so many blows to the head and blackouts from alcohol every weekend for 10 years.
