Kennedy Space Center

Most visitors who travel to Orlando will be dumbfounded by the mammoth human effort at the Disney World and all the wonderful offerings it has to mankind.

But, Orlando has more on offer than the Disney World and the world class Kennedy Space Centre Orlando, the headquarters of NASA is close at hand.

The sheer size of this facility itself is awe inspiring. Eight Manhattans can be comfortably aligned on the real estate occupied by NASA on the island wildlife refuge.

NASA attracts several million visitors every year from across the globe. And, that is only a befitting tribute to this mammoth hub of discovery and technology which plays host to some of the greatest accomplishments of mankind. At the Kennedy Space Centre Orlando, the Visitors' complex offers the unique opportunity to take a tour of NASA's facilities that handle the launch as well as landing.

Interactive simulators will provide you that once in a life time experience of the outer space of this universe and live shows add further value to your experience. If your tryst with the gadgets and gismos could not quell your appetite for knowledge, meet a member of the Astronaut Corps in flesh and blood.

NASA is located between Jacksonville and Miami on Florida's east coast on the 'Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge'. The multitude of satellites that impact human life across nations in more ways than one have been orbited from this centre. You will enjoy a closer home experience of how the space probes have solved some of the cosmic mysteries. Moving on with your exploration of the Kennedy space Centre Orlando, you will get an eye full of the numerous stages through which a Space Shuttle transitions before it is launched.

If your quest for knowledge still persists, the Cape Canaveral Air force Station Museum will impart knowledge on the beginning of NASA, launch structures used in the past for launching spacecrafts like the Explorer, Viking, Mariner and Voyager into the planets. And, on a future day when you avidly watch the launch or landing of another space craft, you will recall the day you were at that very spot at the Kennedy space Centre Orlando.

For the more devout, status reports on various shuttles and news releases are available through e-mail. If you are among those fortunate to be at the Kennedy Space Centre Orlando during a launch program do enquire at the visitor complex for relevant tickets and you will carry back home unforgettable travel Orlando Florida experiences.
