As promised--Wednesday, February 27 was Sohna's Day. For 24 Hours--No Baseball (Yeah, I know that's hard to believe--but it happened). The timing was perfect. Not much daytime baseball, nor practice--as Our Washington Nationals were playing their first exhibition game of the season in Jupiter--two hours south.
So, Sohna chose to visit Cape Canaveral and The Kennedy Space Center. In fact, Space Shuttle Endeavour cooperated by already being in place on Launch Pad 39A--for its scheduled March 11th Lift Off to service The International Space Station.
We had a great time. Having worked many shuttle and payload launches over the years, I was able to provide The African Queen with a little more insight--than what the normal tours offer. In fact, we are going back tomorrow afternoon--after the Georgetown University exhibition to finish off some exhibits we could not get to today.
By they way--if you ever do take The Kennedy Space Center Tours--Sohna and I highly recommend purchasing the Commanders Pass. If it costs $38 each for a two day pass--you might as well pay $100 for Two One Year Passes. Including the special discounts provided under this particular program--you basically get the extra $24 back during your visit--in rebates. And, if you plan on attending Spring Training--two years running--a visit to Cape Canaveral Next Year is FREE!! Not a bad deal--if you enjoy The Space Program.
Baseball and Our Washington Nationals returns tomorrow.

How do they do the 0 gravity pictures? Curly says that since monkeys were involved in the space travel before humans that he should be allowed to go into a space shuttle and fiddle with all the buttons. Could you use your connections to make that happen? MISS YOU GUYS!!!
