Not to second guess Cecil, but I wasn’t sure the question was answered completly. As you stated there are 2 sides to this facility. The space and range side on the Atlantic Ocean, housing the original rocket facilities is called Cape Canveral Air Force Station, and the NASA side (Space Shuttle and Tourist Facilities), seperated by the Indian and Banana River is Kennedy Space Center. The name difference is confusing and there is a constant turn around at the CCAFS gate of tourists, usually at rush hour.  
Hey Cecil, if you need any info about the International Space Station, I offer my meager resources. later, Tom.

So, **hflathead** , what else can you tell us about the international space station? And are there still tall reeds at Cape Canaveral?

I don’t know too much about the International Space Station, but this link will show you where it is at this very moment. [Where is the Space Station?](http://liftoff.msfc.nasa.gov/temp/StationLoc.html)  
While you are there, look around a bit. This site will tell you where a host of satellites are. Pretty cool.
