NASA Web Cams

These are handy when things are happening at KSC.

Parking Meters

I tell ya. Every government organization is desperate for
those tax dollars.

Marina Park. Splash or Skate ?

I tell ya what. Commissioners will argue on one hand
until they spend all the money projected for the project
in the other hand.

Windy Monday On The Lagoon

After the hard rain and lightning last night, the wind
is still blowing straight out of the west.

No Wind For The Kiteboarders

I'll check back this afternoon and see if the wind
has picked up.
The guys are having trouble flying today.



The wind just began to pick up around 2pm and it became a great day
for the kiteboarders.
By 3pm there were at least 8 kiteboarders flying accross the water.
By 6pm there were at least 4 still flying.

Play and Construction

It's a very bright sunny day. You can sence the humidity
will come here soon.
The winds are so calm that a windsurfer can barely
keep his board moving. He actually fell over right
after I took this picture.
The 406 bridge is coming along.
Those piers are being built relatively quickly.
The spans are at least 1/3 installed.
It's gonna be a nice bridge.

The Secret Air Force X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle Launches

Another great launch.
The Air Force Mini Shuttle will be up there messin around with stuff
for approximately 270 days. Manuvering, sniffing around,
snooping around, getting in close, checkin things out.

Discovery Landing, Atlantis Moving

The Discovery streaked across the sky overhead this
morning before it flew out to sea, burned of some energy
and turned for its landing at KSC. This is the 4th time
I've been here to watch a spaceship land. One was on the
back of a modified 747.
The Atlantis was suppose to start its trek out to pad 39A
this evening but NASA decided that there would be rain and
lightning in the neighborhood so they postponed until 6 AM
on wednesday.
It's a busy week.
The X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle will launch atop an Atlas V.
Launch Time: 7:52 p.m. to 8:01 p.m. EDT
Launch Complex: 41 Cape Canaveral Air Force Station
Mission: A United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket carrying a
technology demonstration spaceplane known as the X-37B
Orbital Test Vehicle.
Then there was Air Force One, the president paid a visit
last thursday to let everyone know the new direction that
NASA will take.
Busy week.

St. Johns River Floodplain Flooded

The St. Johns River is spreading thru it's floodplain.
If I remember correctly, (I question my memory more often
these days)this is not suppose to happen this early.
The flooding river. Not my memory.
When hurrican season starts and a few tropical
depressions linger over Florida this usually happens.
Of course it has rained all winter and a low pressure
system just passed over south & central florida.
It's having an affect.

Lazy Gray Morning On The Lagoon

There is no wind on the lagoon today. It's very still and quiet.

Discovery Undocks To Come Home

This is a great NASA picture of the ISS and Discovery crew.

Oleanders Are Blooming

The Oleander bushes are blooming. They are beautiful and deadly.

Like A Leaf On The Wind

Lots of wind on the lagoon and the beach this week. I love it.

Orion Revived

I hope this adds jobs and expands the space industry
to commercial carriers. We need to keep the US space
industry on top in the world.

April 20 Launch Atop An Atlas

The evolution of space flight continues.

Another Beautiful Sunday On The Indian River Lagoon

Bloomin All Over

It seems like every plant that can bloomed this week.
Even a few that I didn't know had blooms.

Extend Shuttle Missions

Wow our elected officals actually agree on something.

Titusville Festivals Directory

There's always something to do in Brevard county.

Hazy Day

It was very cloudy and hazy this morning.

Firefighters Brush Up Techniques On Merritt Island

We are suppose to be in the dry season.
Hopefully there won't be many brush fires
this year.

STS-131 Launch

This morning the sun came up twice.
The STS-131 Discovery launch has to be one
of the best I've seen.
The sky was crystal clear.
The sun was still over the horizon.
The temperature was perfect.
When the launch occured it was truly like
a sunrise.
When the sound wave came across the lagoon
the acoustics were magnified. The wave rattled
my windows for at least 10-15 seconds. It was
like an explosion you didn't think was gonna stop.
At a certain altitude sunlight intersected the con trail.
When the shuttle reached the top of the atmosphere
the con trail left a patch of ice crystals that were
intensely bright. It ended as the shuttle headed
down range to the east as Venus rose in the west.
As it's trajectory had a retrograde affect heading east
the gases coming off the shuttle developed a tail like a
comet. It was phenomenal.
Then the sun rose again.
Here's a very amature fuzzy picture that I took.
