I would be grateful if anyone could supply information
on visiting the following places:

Is it worth going, do you have to make a reservation in 
advance etc...

Thanks,

	As of several years ago, it was possible to go out on the dry lake bed at EAFB on the far side of the runways from the buildings during a shuttle landing. Now that most landings are scheduled to be at KSC, I don't know. I'd be a bit surprised, since there was a certain amount of infrastructure that they set up (sentries, hot dog stands, signs, potties, etc) which they would not be able to do on one hour's notice. I don't believe it was possible to go to the buildings themselves. (I could see the Enterprise poking out of a hanger by way of binoculars, though!...That tells you how long ago it was: Spacelab 1).
