Before we get started, let's take a look at the Kennedy Space Center, a place that has its own sense of an epic movie. From the United States' first artificial satellite to the world-renowned space shuttle, it is from here to fly into space. The Kennedy Space Center hosts all U.S. missions to geosynchronous orbit.

Also launched "Apollo" spacecraft, "Skylab" and various interplanetary probes. It is an important base for the United States space launch. This is where American human spaceflight began. It carries almost all the wisdom, dreams and courage of mankind. Therefore, the Kennedy Space Center is also known as the gateway to human exploration of space.

Where is Nasa Kennedy Space Center?

The Kennedy Space Center is located on Merritt Island, Florida, about an hour's drive from Orlando.

Must see, right at the entrance, the first thing you see when you enter the gate. This is a field of real rockets that you can get up close and personal with, the first rocket to break the gravity of the Earth is here. "We stand on the shoulders of giants", in the Rocket Garden, this phrase is vividly reflected. The engineers, astronauts, designers and planners behind every rocket are the ones who make dreams into history.

Giant screen cinema
There are two theaters, back to back, showing "Hubble Space Telescope" (narrated by Leonardo) and "Space Station" (narrated by Tom Cruise), and the film is quite a work in progress.

The IMAX theater waiting area is also a pavilion, with various meteorites to touch and experience. These two giant screen films must be seen. Please refer to the film schedule for selection.

The Kennedy Space Center KSC Explore Tour is an absolute must experience that costs extra, but is well worth it.

This is an up-close tour by bus to the actual rocket launch pad and space program operation area, with buses departing from the tour center every 15 minutes. There are experienced guides on the bus to explain the entire NASA landmark, from technology, to NASA gossip, and political stories, to listen to everyone
