The Elgin Center for Conservation and Behavioral Research
Great shots of the animals housed at Lion Country Safari in Florida. The Elgin Center is a research center established to aid scientists and students who wish to observe animal behavior in a controlled but naturalistic environment. The center primarily conducts its research at Lion Country Safari in Loxahatchee, Florida. Lion Country Safari is a semi free ranging drive-through animal preserve where the animals have very little human interaction and live in social groups mirroring that of the wild. Here, researchers observe animals acting as they would in the wild while enjoying the benefits of observing a captive group. The research done at the Elgin Center is important in understanding the role of behavior in ecology. Understanding the ways animals interact with their environment is crucial to conservation efforts.

Demolition of the Mercury/Gemini Mission Control Center
The former Mercury Mission Control Center building — long ravaged by time and the elements — was demolished. As pieces of the old building were eaten away, more than fifty years of space history came to completion. Yet despite the demise of the building, the Flight Control Area — the heart of the mission control operation — has been faithfully preserved for future generations. The Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex has recreated the control center in its Early Space Exploration display. In this display, the public can view the actual consoles, furnishings and world tracking map used during those early flights. The preservation stands as a tribute to those who pioneered NASA’s manned space program — leading to the moon missions just a few years later — and paving the way for the human spaceflight program that continues today.

STS-132 Launch – Space Shuttle Atlantis from KSC Visitor’s Center – May 14, 2010
Please excuse the poor videography, I was simultaneously filming and watching through binoculars and not in the best viewing area. Also, turn up your volume/bass, the rumble starts at about 0:51 and really picks up at 1:00.
