If any of you EVER get the chance, stop in to the Kennedy Space Center visitor center. Budget 2 full days. LOT of REALLY cool stuff.
I did one day and didn't see but about half of it. My friend's dad was one of the guys who worked on the Gemini program, so we spent a lot of time in that part of the museum. This was before the cancellation of the STS program, was supposed to send Atlantis up the next day. We were staying at Cocoa Beach, anyway got to bed a little later than I wanted to, got up late, hurried over to KSC to watch them scrub the launch. We had other places to be, so we headed out. That sucked. Man I wanted to see that!
