We rented a car with a couple of friends on Symmetry and drove to Cape Kennedy, NASA. There was a scheduled Delta Rocket launch of a GPS satellite. It was pretty neat to be so close to a launch. There was a lot to see at NASA. We learned a lot about the space and aeronautic program. It seems as though most of America has lost interest in the space program. After visiting Cape Kennedy, we will always watch televised launches. This visit was very inspirational. Here are a couple of tid bits the kids picked up during their visit. They each wrote a paper about NASA.
"The Russians were the first to orbit the earth� and "the Space Shuttle is taken out to Pad 39 on a crawler. It goes speeds up to one mile per hour" DJ
" I learned there is no wind on the moon, so you will be able to see 30 year old boot prints� and " on the moon you weight 1/6th of your weight� (mom likes that!) - Nicole
