The third day we had a little driving to do in order to get to Kennedy Space Center.  Our cameras eventually lost power, lost some of the pictures we took, or we simply ran out of memory space (Blame Magic Kingdom for that).  So did the Space Station exhibit for that matter (lost power, that is), so that part we missed.  We did however get to see all the spots where a space shuttle spends time between assembly and launch.  Atlantis was on the launching pad, but the following day they had to bring it back following hail damage.  To cap a day that was fascinating otherwise, the GPS instructed us to take a road that was going through NASA's playground.  Needless to say, we were turned back at the gate; the officer on duty was as cool as a cucumber when we told him about the GPS - not even the faintest smile as he pointed behind us and said "Go back!".
