KSC Trip Part 4 and Some Disappointment

So, the launch was a bust. We sat out near a causeway in the pouring rain waiting. There was an interesting "glowing" dolphin that came up to less than two meters in front of the group though, while we were there. Eh, I guess I'll try to catch the coverage on NASA TV when they reschedule it. It was pretty interesting to see it lit on the pad in person though...

We're heading out to the CCAFS museum today, to try and lift the mood about the scrubbed launch. Oh well.

KSC Trip Part 2

So, we just got back from the bay just across from KSC! Our group visited the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo memorials there, and got some great views of the VAB and several EELV launch pads plus the SpaceX launch pad. The LC-39 pads were also visible on the far side. We spotted the RBSP Atlas V 401 sitting out at a pad. Our group hasn't gone to KSC yet, but there are some amazing views all the way from this area.

So, I'm here in Titusville, FL for the RBSP Atlas V 401 launch, and a full tour of KSC. Extremely excited to see all this space history and a possible launch, I'll try to update with pictures later.

On a related note, the plane trip here from Atlanta, I got randomly asigned to Airtran's one-of-a-kind "Colt 1" 717-200, and a beautiful flight over some thunderstorms.

Experimenting with the idea of posting my youtube videos to my Orbiter blog. First blog entry. Perhaps also the last. We'll see.

Well, everyone else seems to be doing one, so here is one that I am doing.
