Huntsville Info

[Gargamel]

Booked my hotel in Cocoa Beach with plenty of time to see CRS-24 plus some time for scrubs.      I have time to squeeze in a Huntsville stop on the way down.  Along with any other info on the region:

1) is the Huntsville facility worth stopping at if I’m already planning on going to the cape that week?

2) Where is the facility relative to Huntsville?   
 

3) anything else I should consider?

Haven't been to their visitor center (Marshall). If you go to KSC, book a tour ahead of time of that's still a thing, it was worth it. Drive by the VAB, etc

If you're in Cocoa Beach, you gotta get a T-shirt from Ron Jon's. Just sayin'....

Marshall has a reproduction Saturn V stacked vertically.  That's something worth seeing.

Huntsville?
Better don't forget your T-51b power armor, it's Fallout 4 after all.

Last time I stopped in Huntsville, I was driving back to Iowa from Gulf Shores (this was before I moved to North Carolina) all I remember is that I was under the weather at the time, but I managed to soldier on and pick up a copy of Jim Lovell's book at the gift shop. As for the Kennedy Space Center, I was there when nothing was scheduled for launch. Thankfully Cape Canaveral is less than a nine hour drive from where I live in North Carolina so I have thought about returning to the Cape for a SpaceX or a SLS launch.
