I agree that the KSC tour of the old Canaveral launch sites is somewhat lacking these days. I remember it was much more extensive back in the late 70's to mid 80's.I had a brief conversation with my tour driver and guide about this last time I was there.(Feb, 06) What they told me was not encouraging. Between the safety hazards of decaying buildings, and increasing areas being placed off limits due to national security, they were both of the opinion that tours will cease to exist within the next five years.
For now, you will have to settle for the following website:
CCAFS Virtual Tour
It is quite extensive and well put together. The guy was fortunate to have been given a personal tour of the facilities back in 96 and is quite generous to share his experience.
