The Port of Long Beach offers free 90 minute narrated tours of the port. You
book them from their web site. The first day of the month they list them for 2
months in advance. So if you wanted to book for say July you would have to do
it on the 1st of May. It was a very interesting tour with a lot of information
given out. |

Sea Launch is a spacecraft launch service that uses a mobile sea platform
for equatorial launches of commercial payloads on specialized Zenit 3SL
rockets. The sea-based launch system means the rockets can be fired from the
optimum position on Earth's surface, considerably increasing payload
capacity and reducing launch costs compared to land-based systems. |
