NASA has released the first damage assessment for the Kennedy Space
Center:


"Emergency crews are on site at Kennedy Space Center in Florida and
are providing the first information on conditions there following
Hurricane Frances. They report that key buildings such as the Launch
Control Center and the massive, white Vehicle Assembly Building are
still standing.
"The emergency crews see some exterior damage to the VAB, where Space
Shuttles are readied for launch. There are a significant number of
panels missing from the exterior. The Shuttles themselves rode out the
storm in their hangars, known as Orbiter Processing Facilities. We do
not yet have information on conditions there."
