  • In this video we witness a night launch from the Kennedy Space Center and explore nearby Port Canaveral and Cocoa Beach. We visit Ron Jon, the worlds largest surf shop, and have some fun at the Cocoa Beach pier, before heading to to Historic Cocoa Village for and arts and crafts show.

    Good morning Robert! My husband and I just discovered your CZcams channel and are enjoying watching your past videos. This one about Cocoa Beach was particularly of interest to me as I grew up in Florida and my father was stationed at the Air Force Base there. We spent a lot of time on the coast and it brought back so many fond memories. Your videos are always so entertaining and relaxing, I always feel as if I have just been on vacation after I watch them!

    Gooooood morning!!! Am I the only one who never got tired of seeing a rocket launch?

    • @TravelingRobert
      @TravelingRobert  Před 5 lety +4

      Never gets old, although I think the old shuttles were more dramatic.More flames and smoke. New rockets seem more lean and efficient.

    I needed to see some traveling Robert to cheer me up after taking care of many patients, and ones who are no longer with us it’s so depressing. I so happen to start watching through my lens, nice but I needed to hear Robert Sing lol thank you Robert for taking my mind away from work😊

    I have commented before on some of your videos. My Father lived for almost 20 years in Cape Canaveral. His cousin still lives in Satellite Beach, he is a WWII veteran.
    One Other cousin lives in St James City. I visited in 1997 and wow has that place grown! I wonder if Ron Jon's has a post office in the building still??July and so many cars and visitiers........ FLA and AZ have grown immensely!
    I need to get back to the ocean again before I kick! The desert has it's charms but the ocean and WATER!....Thanks for the videos Robert!

    Witnessed an early morning shuttle launch back in 1984 when my brother worked for NASA. Amazing sight! There were no visitor tours back then that I remember. Have been to Houston and Huntsville where my brother retired from NASA 5 years ago. Both are awesome!

    Robert, once again I have to say what a Excellent Excellent video of Cape Canaveral and Cocoa Beach. I used to live there and know the place very well. I personally could not have done any better than you did in portraying it to your subscribers.
    Darn, you are good !!! Keep up the great work Brother !!!

    I spent a week in Cocoa in 2012. I stayed at the Hilton where I was going to have a great view of the rocket launch that was scrubbed, thankfully the day before so we didn't wake up in the middle of the night for nothing. If you're visiting the area, I recommend going to Lone Cabbage, which is inland off of 528. They have airboat rides on the St. John's River where you can see alligators and pink flamingos, and when you're done you can have alligator meat at the snack bar.

    During this launch we were off shore on a cruise ship returning to port and the rocket passed over us. Really nice to see a launch from to ocean side as we’ve seen several from land.

    Good Morning, Robert. That was fun and in the video you can't feel the humidity. The last time I was there it was right after a shuttle disaster and things were pretty rundown. There was a definite feeling of absence. They had all the space shuttle exhibits draped in sheets.
