Kennedy Space Center
Space Shuttle Atlantis - Cape Canaveral FL
The primary launch site for the NASA since 1967 and home to the Heroes and Legends United States Astronaut Hall Fame, Kennedy Space Center is also NASA’s home for research and development of future U.S. and commercial space travel, exploration, and inhabiting other the celestial bodies within our solar system.
Highlights of Kennedy Space Center include Space Shuttle Atlantis, Journey to Mars, and Gateway: The Deep Space Launch Complex.
We burned the whole day here at Kennedy and still spent the last hour rushing through exhibits. Visitors who really like to mosey through museums and want to take advantage of extra opportunities like Meet an Astronaut should plan top spend two days here.
There are a lot of similarities between U.S. Space Centers, but each are also unique with distinctive presentations. The Mission Control presentation in the Apollo/Saturn V Center of Kennedy Space Center is amazing. I can only imagine what a real lift-off would’ve been like. Made me a little regretful I didn’t become an astronaut!
Gateway: The Deep Space Launch Complex is the largest exhibition we’ve seen yet for future space travel. Items within the complex include a Sierra Space Dream Chaser model, a SpaceX Falcon 9 booster, and Cargo Dragon - the first commercial spacecraft to deliver cargo to and from the International Space Station,
