All Credentialed up

Launch credentials, etc.After a brief delay to locate the car keys, we were off to the NASA KSC Guest Operations Office to pick up the appropriate documents and passes for tomorrows launch. Once that was taken care of, we did a quick bus tour around part of the facility including a stop at the Apollo exhibit facility and the adjacent Banana Creek viewing area–we’re going to have a fantastic view.

There were some pretty impressive thunderstorms that rolled through the area tonight, but I think the real heavy stuff missed Pad 39A. Weather tomorrow is looking pretty good with only a 30% chance of weather delaying the launch. Fingers, toes, etc. are crossed.

Met a marvelous young lady this morning who’d come from London for the launch. She’d lucked into a causeway launch ticket and was simply glowing with excitement and that joy that a space junkie gets when you’re at your first launch. Takes me back to my Apollo 17 launch days.
