20 years ago today, Hurricane Frances did a number on east-central Florida. #NASA #KSC suffered significant damage, including about 800 panels blown off the Vehicle Assembly Building, and the building where the Shuttle orbiter tiles were manufactured.

This is NASA raw footage from after Frances left.

Let's be clear ... You're not going to "space." The International Astronomical Union defines "space" as 100 km (62 miles). #NASA recognizes space as 50 miles (about 80 km). The balloon hopes to reach 100,000 feet, which is about 19 miles (30 km). You'll have a great view, but it's nowhere close to "space."

#SpaceCoast -based #CASIS (The Center for Advancement of Science in Space) publishes a periodic digital magazine called "Upward" about micrgravity research on #ISS. Download for free at the link.

CASIS is the "secret sauce" that finds researchers to use ISS facilities. They'll partner international researchers with US companies so they can use the US labs aboard ISS.

#NASA clears #Boeing #Starliner #CFT to leave #ISS no earlier than Friday September 6. Uncrewed, of course.
