Default Cape Canaveral photographs

Does anyone know how to get a private tour of Cape Canaveral? I recently took the standard tour there at Kennedy Space Center, and got some excellent photographs, but wanted to visit some of the other launch pads and areas off the tour route.

Soboyle - Are you a terrorist? If so, ignore the following lines. You could try contacting an administrator of the tours or someone from public relations(?). If they shun you away, don't take it personally, in this day of uncertainties it's best that they be safer than sorry. Good luck! Mr Q

Same as with the backstage and private tours of Washington..... call your Congressman.

They will do a huge background check of you, by the way.

Question 38 on the visiting visa includes:

Do you seek to enter the United States to engage in export control violations, subversive or terrorist activities, or any other unlawful purpose? Are you a member or representative of a terrorist organization as currently designated by the U.S. Secretary of State? Have you ever participated in persecutions directed by the Nazi government of Germany; or have you ever participated in genocide?


Genocide? No no no! Well there was that one time in Rwanda ...
