"The universe has no limit!"
My generation was raised in the era of "The Space Race",
a time of unparalleled exploration, discovery & amazing achievements.
My family took a trip when I was young to Cape Canaveral in Florida,
the home of the launch pad & Mission Control.
Today it is called Kennedy Space Center and it is a fantastic place to visit.
We had a thrilling day there on our March 2017 Winter Break vacation.
I wanted to include the brochures and quickly realized that to include all of my photos I would need to add a pocket flap. Yay! More real estate on the back side. I've also used the ticket stubs & a post card that shows a dramatic launch photo (plus some cute flair & a fussy-cut rocket.)
Flip the flap with the postcard and you see the full 1-1/2 page spread.
It's hard to grasp the drama from this photo so I will go in closer.

| Note the sheer size of the building compared to the cars - there are rockets in there! |
 |
| The 3-dimensional history of the space program. |
 |
| Again, it is a matter of conveying the scale using the people. This runs the full length of the gallery. |
 |
| And on the flip side of the coin, this vintage capsule can barely be entered! |
Imagine being one of those pioneers blazing a trail into space!
It was a really memorable visit to a fascinating place.
Now I will have to figure out how to get some of the story I've told here onto the page...
Thanks, Lisa, for the Whimsical Musings inspiration.

Yes, the up-close photos are great to give perspective and I really love how you used the flap so creatively with the tickets and the postcard and all the info. A great page and it looks like such an interesting place to visit. Maybe one day!
ReplyDeleteGreat layout. I was amazed at small the inside of the capsule was.
