    The main thing I took from KSC is that massive 50+ mile long road from the Orlando area towards Cape Canaveral, just such an American design.

    The site and tour was amazing though - particularly the memorial set up like a space mirror, that was particularly poignant.

    When I visited Florida a few years ago there weren’t any daytime launches - but I did hoof the youngest out of bed at 2am to watch from Orlando on a livestream and see the orange flame in the distance heading to the sky. The poor kid had a “bro wtf” look on his face but hey, there ain’t many British kids who can say they’ve seen a rocket go up into space.
