Behind-the-Scenes at NASA's Kennedy Space Center

• GREAT photography! I just ordered a 70-300 mm lens. I am now more eager than ever for it to show up :-)

• روعة تفكر كيف صنعت ومن الذي بعث افكار هذه التصاميم

• +Robert Langdon It's a nice range when placed on my Canon 5D Mark III, and reaching to 480mm equivalent on my Canon 70D is a nice bonus.
  I've even used it for astrophotography when paired with a star-tracking astronomy mount: http://youtu.be/B-PCqS1KAT8?list=PL6012D9822C1BA1E7

• Sorry NASA are a bunch of HOAXERS. I don't believe a word of it!

• +Don Goetze Tongue in cheek?
  If not, having just visited, I can confirm that the buildings are real, the people working in them are building rockets that are real, I watched Delta IV take off in California in July and the biggest Delta IV Heavy configuration carrying Orion last Friday. I watched the Space Shuttle Columbia land twice (1st and 4th missions) in the early 1980s.

  While I was a student at U.C. Berkeley I helped design a combustion experiment to test the roles of heat radiation, conduction and diffusion in a zero-G environment (absent of convection) which flew in various configurations on later flights thanks to our faculty advisor Professor Fernandez-Pello. There are hundreds of experiments which similarly could not have been conducted on earth which are also documented in detail through peer-reviewed scientific papers. (NASA wouldn't have the ability to access or fake experimental results produced in sealed Getaway Special cannisters sent up in the space shuttle.)

  Dozens of NASA-developed technological advancements are transitioned to the private sector and commercial markets as documented on the NASA Spinoffs site. That would not happen from a hoax.

  It's hard for me to understand why anyone would think that there would be any need to fake anything in NASA's space program. It's much easier to simply do all of this than it would be to fake, yet I've seen the statistic that apparently 6% of the American population believes that we never landed anyone on the moon. Roughly one out of every 15 people? That's really sad.

  There's nothing really mysterious about science, it's all there for anyone to study and advance. Today we have private enterprises like Space X and Virgin Galactic building spacecraft, adding more proof points to the NASA, Russian, Indian and Chinese space missions which have also flown.

• Oh thank you for sharing these NASA photographs. I love them so I shared to my all circles. #futuretechnology #scienceeveryday

• Thanks +Deborah Taylor-French, glad you like them. I highly recommend seeing a NASA launch some day.
  Did you watch the meteor shower last night?
  I caught a nice bright green Geminid fireball: https://plus.google.com/107459220492917008623/posts/LJ7r15qGfz4
