jtkinney Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 They also got to see the VAB (which is the tallest structure in Florida and also the tallest single story building anywhere) from my wife's office building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtkinney Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Don't worryabout the strap around their necks, all objects must be tethered to keep them from falling many stories and damaging something/someone. Here's another view of the VAB from the back side with the doors open so you can see the ARES 1X and the crawler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtkinney Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 That's it for this week. Next week they are going to play some ice hockey while waiting for the launch. We may also visit Satellite Beach, just for Amy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStewMan Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 why are they on a leash in that picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtkinney Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 They had to be tethered for safety while in the VAB. I forgot to remove the straps before taking the pictures outside. No ducks were harmed this weekend, I assure you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Amy Posted October 12, 2009 Author Moderators Share Posted October 12, 2009 Those are great!! Can you email me the pics, too? I'd like to pick one for the blog.

jtkinney Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 As many of you know the Ares 1x launched successfully this morning, and the boys were there to witness the excitement. Nothing but the best treatment, as long as you have connections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtkinney Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Unfortunately we waited a lot longer than just for sunup, but while waiting we hob-nobbed with famous astronauts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fini Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 OK. I've certainly been jealous of waterfowl before (who hasn't?), but never more than of these two ducks. If I fly to Florida (for the Winter, Summer, whatever), can I see in person what Daryl and Darla saw? I'd even wear a yellow suit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturn5 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 They also got to see the VAB (which is the tallest structure in Florida and also the tallest single story building anywhere) from my wife's office building. You're making me homesick with these pics! I recognize that view from the OSB! I'm so jealous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
