James http://marsblog.net/wp/?p=1703 For the first time in twelve years of working various manned space programs, I finally made my first business trip to KSC last week.

The second-best part? Having extra time after meetings were over and a suitable facility pass to drive around to the various facilities and get lots of pictures.

LC-34

The best part? Getting up-close to all three orbiters while all three are still in operational condition. 

I’ll post a sampling here as soon as I get the pictures sorted and uploaded to Flickr, including shots of SpaceX’s pad, Ares-1X, and a couple of before/after comparisons with my grandparents’ slides from their visit to KSC in 1965.
