This is the big clock at the KSC Press Site that counts down to a Shuttle launch. It is claimed to be 'one of the most watched timepieces in the world.' Built in 1969 the Countdown Clock marks the time of liftoff. Originally used during the Apollo era. www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/launch/countdown101....
