March 29, 2017- Kennedy Space Center

A busy day today.  We headed over to the Kennedy Space Center Visitors Complex.  It was another great day and the grand kids had a great time.

But first, another glorious sunrise.

There was plenty to do and plenty to see.  One of the stops featured the Apollo series of flights.  The rockets back then were the Saturn V series with a tremendous amount of thrust.  When it took off it was said to be louder that an Atomic Bomb.   The main fuel tank was about 33 feet by 138 feet and it's weight loaded approached 5 million pounds.  It burned just shy of 18,000 pounds of fuel per second.

There is to be a launch on the 30th that will feature the first time a rocket will be reused on another flight.  This pic is of Launch pad 39A where the launch window opens up at 6:27 p.m.  A fortunate opportunity for our visitors provided there are no delays.

The Apollo 14 mission module is on permanent display here at the Space Center.

After another great day the kids were happy to be back in the pool.
