An insider’s history of the heart of The usa’s space program from its earliest days.

NASA’s John F. Kennedy Space Center set the stage for the American adventure in space. Sprawled across 140,000 acres on Florida’s Atlantic coast, the center has hosted the succession of rocket launches that have rewritten our knowledge of aeronautics and our very understanding of the nature of the universe.

Chosen on account of its perfect location, with the wide Atlantic providing a buffer, Kennedy Space Center is now an incredible tourist attraction appealing to visitors of every age.

This spaceport has served as the departure gate for each American space flight mission and the launching point of hundreds of other advanced scientific spacecraft. Kennedy Space Center will continue to make history as NASA embarks on new adventures in space exploration.

  • The missile race and U.S.-Soviet rivalry to be first in space
  • The great Apollo program and the race to the moon
  • The go back and forth program, the Space Station and the Hubble Telescope
