I just watched the KSC. What a snooze fest. I like spacy stuff. I've been twice (once with my family when I was around 16 and then with my husband as he had never been. There was a difference in tours in the 10 years give or take I went. The second time I went I found it was not as in-depth as the first time). Honestly if it was not for my husband wanting to go, KSC is a one and done place for me.
Going off this latest video, there was nothing that screamed go back for the third time. The Mars video Tim showed, the narration was bland. He of course was complaining about the long lines. Of course they are long dumbass. It just opened.
I read the comments on the video. I get people have duh moments, I get them too. One person was asking about what is Blue Origin? Google is good at answering that. I know I should not assume, but Blue Origin and Space X have been all over the news the past year, esp. earlier this year. You'd think (at least in the US) that if you watched the news, you'd know what Blue Origin is.
My dad worked in the space industry (I think that the Air and Space Smithsonian in DC has better displays than the KSC), so I was around it. Plus being in the Navy. Alot of stuff that Tim said in the video I knew (like the weight of paint can effect the rockets, as it can affect the weight of an Aircraft or Ship too). But stuff that I'd think would be obvious to even a non-geek, like the rocket thrusters to get the stuff to space. I think people who've seen space launches on TV have a clue how the Space Shuttle, etc. get into space.
In general this video was just a mish mash of crap with no logic behind it. It was very disconnected.
