Seeing the Saturn V, even laid on its side, is an incredible experience. While the rest of the rockets, including the space shuttle, viewable at KSC are impressive, they seem to lack a bit of the awe I was hoping I'd feel. As a space junkie since I was a kid, I had always imagined these things being just massive. Up close, they're almost fragile-y small. Except for the Saturn V/Apollo vehicle. That was so much bigger than I anticipated. I could have stared at it for hours, absorbing every detail. Of course, that was out of the question - my wife was getting anxious after about 15 minutes of that! I did, however, snap off nearly two rolls of film of everything I could get a good shot of. This sounds like a great set, and a great way to torture loved ones who don't quite share the same enthusiasm I do . . . ;-) 59202@blogcritics.org Tue, 20 Apr 2004 11:37:34 EDT
