I Will Never Forget Kennedy Space Center

Today I went to the Kennedy Space Center. While I was there, I learned many things. At the Kennedy Space Center there is a huge building called the VAB (Vehicle Assembly Building). The VAB is the second largest building, by volume, in the world. The VAB is so big that it can fit two shuttles in it at one time. On the side of the VAB there is a huge flag of the United States.

The blue section of the flag is as big as a NBA basketball court and the stripes are so wide that you can drive a tour bus on one of them.

Besides the VAB there are other things to see. For instance, there is a crawler. The crawler is a vehicle that weights 6.3 million pounds. Just one of its treads weighs one ton. Its job is to transport the shuttle to the launch pad. The shuttle weighs 4.4 million pounds. That is why the crawler is so big and so heavy.

The experience I had today is one that I will never forget. Hopefully, I can come back next year and refresh all of these memories, as well as create new ones.
