To end a fabulous WES 2008, Si Partners took their partners and colleagues to spend a day at Kennedy Space Centre. They organised a up close tour around NASA and it was awesome – we got a great insight into the passion and sheer engineering genius and bravery of space travel. There are a couple of great websites to visit (listed below) including one that lets you know when the International Space Station is due to pass over your part of the world -it circles the globe every 90 minutes at 324km above the earth. http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/tracking/index.html
