Well, folks, that's it. I need to go to Florida for other reasons and the plan was to take my 3 sons (no, I'm not Fred McMurray...) and take them on a good tour of KSC - none of the have ever been there. Geeze. What kind of parent have I been?!
But on Jan. 8, if it goes, the ULA Vulcan will launch from pad 41 at KSC. Since it will be carrying a Pittsburgh-built Lunar robotic lander, I thought maybe we could see that.
On the other hand, a launch day is probably a terrible day to visit KSC for its own sake - everything would be mobbed, I'd imagine. And I've wanted the guys to see why their father is such a nut about this stuff... you stand under a Saturn V and cannot help but be awed, and the way they did the Space Shuttle display is really cool.
So for anyone who happens upon this thread and has been there, especially for a launch, I'd appreciate any thoughts or tips. My plan was to take them on the $107 tour... unless the prices have changed in the last couple of weeks...
