Not impressive.

Even though the hubble got off to a rocky start, I think the results are breathtaking and amazing and will assist us in learning much more about the universe around us.

You can go there to see it along with all the other cool space stuff they have. There is also a Shuttle simulation ride that will give you the feeling of actually launching in the Space Shuttle.
The Space Center is about an hours drive from Orlando so you can hit up Disney World while you're there. It's a great vacation that millions have already found out 
BTW I'm about 40 miles from the launch pad and it was too cloudy to see it today. |
The space center is worth a visit for anyone who actually gives a crap about nasa and the space program. It has one of the first Imax theatres and I haven't been in one yet that's come close to being as impressive, the screen is 5 stories tall and the surround sound is sick amazing. If you can schedule it so you get to see something there that's shot by / in Imax it's incredible.
