Quite interesting, shame we missed a missile launch by a few days. One day in a lifetime experience, the only negative note concerns Starbucks (to get sugar you have to ask the clerk).

PRESIDENT J F KENNEDY SPACE CENTER OUR GUIDE WAS BONNI SNIDER AND RESPECTFUL COACH DRIVING VINCENT. THE PRESENTATION INCLUDED PASSING ATTRACTIONS, LANDSCAPE FEATURES, AND LANDMARKS. TOURS ARE COMPLETED WITH FURTHER INTEREST OF EXPLANATION. A ROUTE IS SMOOTH TO RIDE. ALL FACILITIES WERE ON BOARD WITHIN ROWS OF SEATING. THIS INCLUDES CLIMATE CONTROL AND ESSENTIAL ( RESTROOM ). ON A NASA NATURE RESERVE THE ALLIGATORS ARE SNAPPY AND 'BYTE' YOUR DIGITAL FIGURES. YOUR OPPORTUNITY COULD CAPTURE AN IMAGE, ON A ELECTRONIC GADGET. FROM THE SAFETY OF WINDOWS, THERE'S VEIWS OF OTHER WILDLIFE AND PREDDITURES. A GLISTENING INCISOR WAS SPOTTED IN FLORIDAS SUNSHINE STATE. EAGLES WERE NESTING WITH FEATHERS SHOWING ON THEIR HEADS. AT YOUR ALTITUDE A 'GLIDING' APPROACH WOULD BE BY HISTORICAL LAUNCH PADS. SHUTTLE ASSEMBLY'S APPLIANCES ARE EXHIBITED, ONCE THE APPOLO STRUCTURES ARE PASSED. A CHANCE TO MAKE THE FIRST STEP FOR VISITORS MANKIND, IS IN AN OFFERING. SO MUCH KNOWLEDGE IS AWE INSPIRING - CONSTANTLY RENEWING BEING ASSOCIATED IN SPACE EXPLORATION. THE YEARLY PASS IS ISSUED TO REPEAT JOURNEYS, BY UNEXPERIENCED INTEGRATIONS.
