The past week was a whirlwind! I downloaded all of my knowledge about the NASA flights to Sarah and Robert. I was tracking down parts, sending out engineering reports, and printing out modification orders like crazy.
In the middle of the chaos, on Wednesday all of Operations went to KSC for a meeting about our use of the SLF in November. We discussed out operational requirements with the various NASA departments and then got to go on tour! We ate at the KSC-HQ cafeteria (cheap!) and then drove out to the SLF Midfield Site where the new Control Tower and VIP/Press Area is located. Then we drove down the 15,000 ft. runway! That was really neat :-) We also saw the cargo staging area near the Mate-Demate Device used to take the Orbiter off of the 747 carrier aircraft. Then we went over to the Apollo/Saturn V center and got to see the large second-floor conference room we will use for training. Awesome! We ended the day with no unanswerable questions and got a press release about ZERO-G using the SLF the next day.

I imagine driving all the way down 15000 ft of concrete takes a while. Of course FOD walk is probably a real chore.
Cleanest runway I have ever seen. Probably the cleanest on Earth. And they only have 7 people to do the walk!
