Kennedy Space Center

Last Saturday we were at the Kennedy Space Center.

The trip was divided into two parts:
- visiting NASA KSC visitor complex
- bus trip over the real KSC area

In Visitor Complex (build outside the NASA base) the only thing which is worth seeing is the Early Space Exploration exhibition. Other things like "Shuttle Experience", Imax Cinema, Explorer Shuttle are so fake that for me as for an engineer it was really hard to stand it.

Bus trip is totally a different thing. First of all, they bring you to the complex where they have a real Saturn V rocket (one of the three left from Apollo project). It is really impressive! They have some other real thing like the capsule from Apollo15 etc. Next you can watch the real NASA buildings sitting in your bus.
