On Spring Break, we had family time in Florida and spent two days at Kennedy Space Center (KSC). As a bonus, we saw the SpaceX Falcon 9 launch. KSC was great with the highlights being the Atlantis exhibit and the launch. This exhibit opened last summer (2013). The shuttle is pitched with the cargo bay open and the arm extended. As you can see in the photo, it's also possible to get really close to the spacecraft and see it from all angles. It's an excellent experience, including the intro movie and launch simulator.

This is a seven exposure bracketed photo. Believe it or not, KSC does not have a tripod rule. In a comment below, I describe the tips given to me by KSC staff for shooting away from the crowd.
