Living in Florida has its advantages. No need to shovel snow. The beach is only a 10 minute drive away. Oh, and we’re just across the state from the Kennedy Space Center, so we can occasionally just look east and watch rockets launch into the sky. That’s pretty cool.

But, absolutely nothing as cool as the launch simulator and space capsule that Jeff Highsmith built for his kids. WOW… I mean, this is some incredible simulation.  First, he built the command center.. here’s the video of how he built that:

And, his latest addition is a simulated space capsule, which not only simulates launch, but also communicates back with the command center desk…  WOW!

Sure, Jeff built this for his sons, but I’ve gotta tell you, if I had the chance to build that as my bed, don’t think I wouldn’t take the opportunity. Now, how do I convince Rhonda?
