Cape Canaveral








One thing we discovered...our wireless coverage....the one where they stand in the swamp and say the internet can't hide from you....well, apparently the swamp was not in northeastern Florida. Our wireless was so poor, we couldn't interact with the blogger. SO here is the delayed version. We stayed in Cape Canaveral several days, touring all the space facilities. We got to touch a moon rock and see the current shuttle (at least the fuel tanks) ready to launch. One of the events was a speech by an astronaut Roger Crouch, very inspiring. He was not accepted into the astronaut program until age 56, despite getting a Phd in science and applying every year as pilot, mission specialist and payload specialist. They finally accepted him and he went into space twice. His message was never give up your dream. Our next adventure...the port of St. Augustine.
