| The Atlas Centaur Launch Control has been reassembled in the Space Walk Of Fame Museum. |
On Wednesday morning I again woke early to do a live cross to "The Space Show", during which I described the events of the past week. I spent the rest of the morning resting and washing my clothes.
At midday I paid a call into the Space Walk of Fame Museum, which was only a short walk from my motel. On the way I looked in at several antique and curio shops to peruse their space related memorabilia. The stock of these shops seems mostly to have come from space industry workers selling off their personal memorabilia.
This was just a quick visit to the museum to establish how big it was, how much time I should allocate to a later visit and to see whether there would be any interview possibilities. The answers were: not very big but densely packed, several hours and yes, there would be interviewees.

In the afternoon I drove to Cocoa to visit the Planetarium and Observatory, which is in the grounds of the Brevard Community College. The exhibit was interesting but there was no planetarium show that day - just an IMAX film about whales that I had seen some years ago at Melbourne's IMAX cinema.
