Chat w/ An Astronaut & Kennedy Space Center Admission

The journey, in full

You also get to explore the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex - here are some of the attractions: - Space Shuttle Atlantis: There she is. Just an arm’s length away, NASA’s most incredible feat of engineering to date – a vehicle that launched like a rocket, flew in orbit like a spacecraft, and landed on a runway like a glider. It’s a view only astronauts on the International Space Station or spacewalkers have experienced and one you’ll never forget. - Shuttle Launch Experience: Shuttle Launch Experience is an incredible journey of vertically launching into space and orbiting Earth aboard the space shuttle. Guest “crew members” strap in for this all-too-real simulation, which immerses visitors in the sights, sounds, and feelings of a space shuttle launch, designed under the guidance of NASA and veteran space shuttle astronauts. - Apollo/Saturn V Center: Located a short bus ride away (included in admission), the Apollo/Saturn V Center features a 363-foot moon rocket! Don’t miss the Firing Room Theater, which re-creates an Apollo launch and the Lunar Theater, which depicts the first moon landing. Get up close to the real Apollo 14 Command Module, the “Kitty Hawk.” Walk through a rare collection of prototype spacesuits and artifacts used during the Apollo program. IMAX® Films: Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex is home to the only back-to-back, twin IMAX® theaters in the world, showcasing two exciting large-format motion pictures on screens 5½ stories tall: - “Hubble 3D” Float beside space-walking astronauts and experience the powerful story of the Hubble Space Telescope and its profound impact on the way we view the universe and ourselves. - “Journey To Space” celebrates the Space Shuttle program, the International Space Station, and their vital contributions to the technical and human knowledge that will enable our species to travel deeper into space, to asteroids, Mars, and beyond. - Eye on the Universe: The Hubble Space Telescope: A compilation of powerful and vibrant Hubble images showcasing the science of deep space discovery.
