Cape Kennedy
About Cape Kennedy
Cape Canaveral is a cape in Brevard County, Florida, in the United States, near the center of the state's Atlantic coast. Officially Cape Kennedy from 1963 to 1973, it lies east of Merritt Island, separated from it by the Banana River. It is part of a region known as the Space Coast, and is the site of the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Since many U.S. spacecraft have been launched from both the station and the Kennedy Space Center on adjacent Merritt Island, the two are sometimes conflated.

This was at Cape Kennedy and they had a bit of a wildlife problem there, because the launch pad is actually in the middle of a nature reserve. One of the problems they had was with woodpeckers on the big fuel tanks on the side of the space shuttle.

Other times Cape Kennedy came up
The destination was Honolulu, which they actually missed by a few hundred miles, but not important. Then it has a list of stop-off. It says stop-off Moon. It's just so great on this normal little bit of paper, Honolulu, Cape Kennedy, Moon. Then it says anything to declare. You've got to declare anything you're carrying, and they've just sat to write moon rock and moon dust samples.
