NASA Kennedy Space Center Tour | Space Shuttle Atlantis, Saturn V, Apollo Program & More

The Kennedy Space Center, located on the Space Coast of Central Florida, is home to NASA's primary launch facilities and is the most important spaceport in the world. Iconic programs and vehicles such as Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, the Space Shuttle, and now the Artemis program have all used the Kennedy Space Center as their launching point into space, and into history.

Besides being an active spaceport for NASA and its multitude of commercial partners including SpaceX's Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy, the Kennedy Space Center also provides a visitors complex and daily tours for the general population to explore, learn and look up in awe and wonder at its many modern and historical peices on display and interactive exhibits.

In January of 2024, I made the trip to Orlando and booked a day tour to the Kennedy Space Center where I was able to witness such peices as the Space Shuttle Atlantis, a complete Saturn V rocket and Lunar Lander, a Rocket garden of NASA's most ionic flight vehicles, Alan Shepard's Apollo 14 EVA suit he wore on the surface of the moon, and so much more.

I highly recommend taking the time to visit the Kennedy Space Center, you'll be at a loss for words after witnessing so much of human history and achievement. I hope this video helps convey what an incredible experience it is, and convinces you to add this to your travel bucket list.
Correction: Atlantis flew 33 Missions, not 32.
