      Yes, I have! It’s a great place to visit. Unfortunately I didn’t get to see a rocket launch but I did get to see the buildings they are built in and the road track which they are transported along at 0.5 miles per hour. The road is HUUUGGE, like both sides of a 4 lane motorway!
      There are some really nice exhibits there of rocket engines and aerodynamics etc.. The weather is lovely in Florida too.

      Alas no. Maybe some day. I have never been to the USA in fact though I’m hoping to soon.

      No, never. I’ve been to Florida but it was Tallahassee in the north. I was going to a place called the National High Magnetic Field Facility which is a place with tons of massive magnets! And I’ve been to Tampa, where they have dolphins just swimming in the sea – which is not as amazing as a rocket launch but is still very cool.

      I did go to CERN once (in Switzerland). That was pretty cool.

      I haven’t, but it sounds pretty cool.

      I’m quite un-traveled. My first trip outside of Europe was only just before Christmas. That was for science, I got to go to Boston to a science conference. It’s pretty cool that I got my plane tickets and hotel paid for and got to see the city in the evenings as well. I got to see a bar called “Cheers” which you probably won’t have heard of but it was the setting of an american sit-com that in the day was as big if not bigger than Friends.
