To all of my friends and teammates on the ‘Space Coast’…a beautiful summer day over Cape Canaveral, Florida . This is a magical place…an inspiring display of nature and technology in complete harmony. Launch Complex 39 sitting proudly in the middle of a thriving wildlife refuge. A unique place that launched a generation of scientists, engineers, explorers and dreamers. We cannot let this place fall silent…

@I_krishnan Can tell you when the image is downlinked. Presumably 800 or 1000 mm lens. An even more spectacular view from space is here: http://geoeyemediaportal.s3.amazonaws.com/assets/images/gallery/ge1/hires/cape_canaveral.jpg

@Doit2it No lawn there, but swamps. Best close-up reveals: roadways, presumably in connection with specific conservation activities of the Cape Canaveral National Seashore.

Hopefully I'll be somewhere down there in November to see the launch of Discovery. My friends and I are praying for launch viewing passes at this stage! We don't want to come all the way from South Africa and end up watching the launch from a poor viewing

It is impressive to see the tens of launchers and the roads network connecting various laboratories and control centers that have been built since the July 24, 1950 until today... I love visiting Cape Canaveral when I am in Florida.
