KSC's Vehicle Assembly Building receives a visitor. (Surprise)
Unofficial Pic from a KSC employee ^ | 4/6/06 | Kennedy Space Center Employee

The Vehicle Assembly Building at Kennedy Space Center recently received and interesting visitor on an unannounced tour.

I used to do work out there, and there were always hogs, deer, manatees, rattlesnakes, eagles, schools of redfish and gators all over the place. There was a lake just a few blocks southeast of the HQ building where I counted over 40 gators one summer.

Just thought including the notes that accompanied the picture (below) would be interesting. They're in reverse chronological order.

"for those who used to work here, see what you are missing?"

"for those who still work here, see what you BETTER be missing?"

"Hazards of working at the Cape... Of course, I read this after getting back in my car at the OSB (Operations Support Building) this morning."

"Did you all get a copy of this??? Be sure to look under your cars before you get in them....This thing had to cross the parking lots to get into the VAB!!!"

"Holy Geeze!!"

"This is why we need to keep our bay doors closed in the evenings!!!!!!!!!!!"

"The high voltage shop had a visitor the other night on second shift. The guy was only a few feet away when he realized what was on the floor - the lights were off except in the office area."

We once had a bat get into one of the labs at Brooks AFB. Rather than calling animal control, some idiot tried to catch it, got bit and had to take rabies shots.

Pity anyone who has to download that 178,643-byte image over a dial-up connection.

Good one, but it's too cute and attractive to be Hillary. It doesn't have a big enough butt or the huge thighs or the tiny breasts, nor the left wings!
