My Visit to Kennedy Space Center

So I recently had to go to Kennedy Space Center (KSC) on business and managed to get a private tour of the facility. Here are some pics (I took almost 1000 pics) that I liked.




The Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) where the Orbiter is assembled with the solid rocket boosters and external fuel tank.


Here is the space shuttle Discovery on the launch pad. The External Fuel Tank is clearly visible.


In the foreground is the site of the Apollo 1 fire that killed astronauts Grissom, White, and Chaffee. In the background, a launchpad being used by the United Launch Alliance.


This plaque is on the remnants of the Apollo 1 site.


Some of the native wildlife at the cape.


I took this picture, only to notice a few days later that this bird had a huge fish in it's claws.

Fajita Night!

My girlfriend made the tastiest fajitas evah!

Or as I call it, Saturday!

The Reports of my Death have been Greatly Exaggerated

I caught a nasty flu/cold this past week and had little energy to even try to post an update. I'm much better now (around 70%) and hope to resume my pic posting immediately.

It Finally Got Decorated!

Since my girflriend, Ali, moved in, she has been succesesfully decorating our house.

For Those Cold Houston Winters

Yes, it does get cold here! This morning there was frost on my car. FROST, I TELL YOU!

Strange Fruit

So the tree behind my house has some berries on it. Probably poisonous, I'll check on the next door neighbor's dog.

Mellow Yellow

While testing out the Canon XT (which I haven't used in a while), I came across this little yellow flower and decided to capture it. I think it came out pretty good. But I am biased.

Riding in Style

NASA's Small Pressurized Rover (SPR) made a guest appearance at Johnson Space Center for the employees and contractors to get a look and even get inside. I helped in the development for SPR's cost estimates and it was finally nice to see one (even a test model) up close.
