• No sense in me posting the same views from our tour except this one where we were chased by a shuttle

• Jim, I am rolling on the floor.  That pic and description is totally hilarious.

• I am posting this under both open house threads.   The real shame was that 2 Delta IV CBC's, a 5m upperstage, 2 Atlas CBC's, 2 Centaurs and the Atlas LCC were all available at the open house but photography rules prevent one from taking pictures.  These were "almost" as impressive as the shuttles.

  Actually the real challenge was to avoid being overtaken by the crawler.
  
  There is a big horsepower difference between it and my SUV.

  0.8 MPH with the MLP/Shuttle stack on it.

• Who gets to drive the sweet SUV that apparently stays right in front of the crawler?

• Great pictures! Thanks Chris.
  
  Is Open House Day "open" for non-employee or tourist ? If yes, how to contact, and get an access or ticket ?
  
  I'm not confident to get a "Yes" answer ... but I am still eager to know
