Hubble Images @ Kennedy Space Center Titusville FL

Images from the Hubble Telescope at the Kennedy Space Center Titusville FL

Last week I re-visited the Kennedy Space Center located right here in Titusville Florida


NASA...Shuttles...Rockets...Astronauts....Kennedy Space Center....all reasons we are known as Florida's Space Coast. It had been 5 or 6 years since my last visit and I must say it's pretty impressive. Security
was tight but not oppressive, and...several new features have been added. There are 2 IMAX theaters.
One featuring Man's Moon Missions, the other a close encounter with the Space Station.........both
excellent productions lasting 40-45 minutes. I don't know why I found it odd, but the narrations are
done by Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise respectively.

We got to ride in the Shuttle Launch Simulator....don't let the warnings scare you off!!! There's much shaking and rattling and sounds of blasting off, but all within tolerable limits. This "ride" is purported to
be the most realistic second only to the actual lift off (which I don't plan on experiencing). After seeing
the sleeping quarters in gravity-free space...uhhhh, no thanks!

The newest exibition features photos taken by the Hubble Telescope in "deep space". We've all seen pictures of the incredible gas and dust filled nebulae, but seeing them on a larger scale can simply take
your breath away and tantilize the imagination to soar!

Below are a few photos that turned out pretty well considering the environment in which they were taken. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Incredible as these images are there will be a new, bigger, better, farther-reaching telescope launched in 2013 - THE JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE. It will literally take us where no man has gone before. So hang onto your warp-speed belts.........the ride is just beginning.........OH MY!!!
