What are they doing in the short term (today is 3/30/14) with 39A that is causing the visitor center to stop offering the "up close" tour of the pad?
As much as many of us would love to have access to L2 not all of us can afford it. So please enlighten us.
What is the diameter of the ET vent line? Based on photos it seems to be around 20-23" in diameter, is this about correct?According to an old Apollo image I have of the hydrogen facility, the fill/drain line is 10" in diameter with the facility vent line being 18" in diameter. The MLP vent line seems to be about the same as the facility vent line.
At it's largest the ET vent line is 20". Most of the cross-country portion is 18". The MLP vent line varies between 14-16". The facility vent is 12". The fill line outer diameter is 10", but it has a vacuum jacket. The inner line is 8" I believe
I have been trying to locate drawings of the Apollo LUT and MLP. As well as the swingarms. I have found a few, but they are usually just basic diagrams.
Does anyone know the distance between the FSS SE column and the RSS hinge column?

I had some trouble reading the number listed in the LC-39B FSS/RSS Demolition Package document.
Nobody is perfect, not even NASA!!!
The FSS has approximate overall dimensions of 75' in length (north-south),40' in width, and 350' in height, which includes the tower, the trussing that connects the tower tothe RSS hinge column, and the lightning mast.
