Mr. Don Page

Mr. Page is retired from NASA and 
works as a tour guide volunteer. 
Since he was touring a group of 
teachers on this trip, he brought 
his wife, who is a retired 
teacher.

Vehicle Assembly Building

It was actually planned for us to 
tour this building. Something 
unexpected happened within the 
building on the morning on our 
tour, and they decided to it was 
too dangerous for us to visit the 
VAB.

Bunkers

In the event that there is a flaw 
with a flight mission, the crew 
memebers are suppose to slide 
down onto the launch pad and run 
into these bunkers. From this 
angle, it is hard to tell that  
these bunkers are actually a 
great distance from the launch 
pad.

Cameras

Since the closest viewing site of 
a launch is a few miles away, 
cameras are set up in hopes of 
getting the best view possible of 
the takeoff.

Discovery Flight STS-124

This is a photograph that I took 
from our viewing site. Notice the 
white cloud that the shuttle 
leaves behind. We were informed 
to watch that cloud because if 
the particles fell on you it 
would make your skin burn.
