Thanks JimFinding this thread prompted me to go looking for a KSC history site that I found years ago on a NASA website. It is not easily found off history.nasa.gov, But I found it with a few googles. It's a great information site giving a good narative of the development of KSC and the Apollo program. http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/History/SP-4204/contents.htmlIt is a old non fancy HTML only site. Seems to be a web based transcription of a book. Some of the button gif pictures are broken, but the buttons still work. Hopefully someone in NASA History maintains this old site...Duane
Generators. They are removed after the MLP gets connected to shore power.

Regarding LOX/LH2 I asked about previously, I looked and found a post script file that is dated (2001), but has interesting info on amounts of fuel etc used per shuttle. Prices are dated (2001), but interesting nonetheless. Attached is a converted PDF of the link belowhttp://www-pao.ksc.nasa.gov/kscpao/nasafact/ps/SSP.psduane
