Well, it's that time again...our yearly free visit to Kennedy Space Center, courtesy of being Brevard County residents! This year, I (Dyan) treated myself--I usually have Fridays off, but I've been extremely busy lately. So this Friday (9/26), I let myself relax and went to KSC by myself! I had a really nice time--it was not crowded like the Saturday and Sundays are--and I even got to visit the hall of Fame--which I've been wanting to do for the past 5 years! I was VERY excited about the historic time we got to enjoy...both launch pads had shuttles on them. A little trivia--this is the first time in 7 years, only the 17th time , and the last time, that both shuttles have been on the pad at the same time. I could see the tops of the shuttles as I came across the water on the way in, and I couldn't wait to get closer. So, needless to say, I was very disappointed when I realized that was ALL I was going to see...the orbiters were protected by the towers, and so not visible except for the last day before launch. I was REALLY bummed, but I should have realized it. Oh, well, maybe I'll have an excuse to go up the day before we launch in November. The mission Atlantis was going on was delayed because of a problem with the Hubble Telescope, but Endeavor should go on as planned. I still enjoyed myself and it was a great day!
