The last time Dave and I visited Kennedy Space Center was about 12 years ago. The place has changed drastically since then. Since our cruise ship docked early morning in Port Canaveral, we decided to dedicate this day to exploring Kennedy Space Center.
We started our journey at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. According to the kennedyspacecenter.com website, it features the new $100 million dollar Shuttle Atlantis, exhibits and displays, two IMAX theaters, a range of bus tours of the spaceport, and the Shuttle Launch Experience, a simulated ride into space. It also encompasses the separate Apollo/Saturn V Center and United States Astronaut Hall of Fame. The Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex is where you can see the largest rocket ever flown, touch a moon rock, meet an astronaut, and stand nose-to-nose with shuttle Atlantis all in the same day.
Here is the Visitor Complex Entrance. President Kennedy had a dream that NASA fulfilled.
