This is the Coolest Website!

After a vacation to Florida a few years ago and a visit to NASA-Kennedy Space Center, I became very interested in what is going on there, so I often visit their website to learn the latest.

I am always surprised by the amount of information that is available on their website and how well it is laid out and delivered. It addresses a wide range of topics and audiences from children to average adults that don't know much about space (me) to the real enthusiast. The information provided seems endless with links to many sites providing even more information. I like that you can go to this sight and really learn something new and in great depth yet it does not seem overwhelming as many sites often do with even less information.

The obvious element that makes this site cutting edge is the information it provides as well as the tools it uses to provide it. On the site there are RSS feeds, Blogs, TV, Podcasts, Vodcasts, Interactive features, links to social networking and Itunes. I especially like browsing the images webpage which you can link to from the main page. The graphic elements used to design the site tie in all the information really well and aid in flow.
