Have you been there?
I have been, it was great! Just what you imagine really, a genuine space base!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing thing to have done Kev!
DeleteWow. Bet they did not do that in the USSR.
ReplyDeleteI dunno Paul. Star City ay have tours.
DeleteNice footage in all its homemade shakiness. Yep, been there back in the summer of 1988. We took an aerial tour of the site in a doorless Bell helicopter on a sunny day. Felt as though the only thing keeping me from taking a fall was the safety belt!
ReplyDeleteThats just so fabulous Arto! A doorless chopper too, how breathtaking is that! And yes, scary! You've seen the VAB!
DeleteTimmy went in 1994. Wonderful. That VAB is enormous , gigantic, huge, very very very big - until you see it in the flesh you dont realise how stupendously large it is.
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous Timmy! Sounds wonderful!
DeleteWent there in 2013 or 14 with my wife and son. It was a childhood dream come true.
ReplyDeleteFantastic place.
Did the bus tour, but didn't get taken inside the VAB, or anything like as close to the launch towers.
Got quite emotional a couple of times, actually, especially when what appears to be a movie on a big screen of the Space Shuttle in space, accompanied by rousing dramatic music, is revealed as the actual thing, behind a gauze, there in front of you !
Amazing.
Fabulous memories Mish. Sounds really special.
