Cape Canaveral.
And here - the entrance for tourists in the Space Center at Kennedy.
Machine must be left in the parking lot, moving inside only on a special tourist bus.
On this day, because the final preparations to launch Space Shuttle mission with 133 and some kind of a spy satellite in the assembly hall we were not allowed (normally allowed).
Second stop - a panoramic viewing platform at Baikonur.
During the ascent to it, you can explore several exhibits, including the engine.
View of the assembly shop front - a self-propelled platform on which to carry out of the shop shuttles on the launch pad.
The fence is better not to go.
Third stop - a huge hangar, on the lunar program and the Apollo ships, which run through the world's largest rocket Saturn 5 (who built the Werner Von Braun, a German who fled to America during the war). At the entrance to the pavilion - the command post missions of Apollo.
We pass on and can not help but notice "the elephant" - a rocket Saturn 5.
Here you can get into the Space Shuttle Explorer.
This command module mock-ups of the new American program, "Orion" and rescue system at the start.
In another part of the tourist center is an area with rockets of different times.
Mission Control Center Gemini program (a la the Soviet "East")
Here - children's art exhibition on space topics. This is - a gift of Japan Space Center at Kennedy.
I spent time here from 9 am to 6 pm and I have not had time to explore all the exposure.
