Launching a Vision:

On the East coast of Florida, where the waves of the Atlantic crash up onto the sands of Cocoa Beach, in the heart of 140,000-acre national wildlife refuge, lies one of America’s most important and inspiring historical landmarks- a technological marvel, a tribute to mankind’s bravery, ambition and perseverance.

Kennedy Space Center is the birthplace of America’s space program, and the only place on Earth where man has launched into space to set foot on the Moon. From the first rockets to lift off from Cape Canaveral in the 1950’s to the space pioneers of the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs, on up through the era of the Space Shuttle and the construction of the International Space Station, KSC chronicles the story of mankind’s greatest achievements and has inspired millions of visitors from around the world with the fascinating NASA story.
