We
will begin our morning with an airboat ride along the
St.
John’s
River
where
we will see alligators, blue heron, and other
Florida
wildlife. Then we are
off to
Cape
Canaveral
, to
Kennedy
Space
Center
, the
world’s only space shuttle launch site.
Step into a life-sized space shuttle replica and visit
exhibits depicting the space programs’ history.
The days’ highlight will be the chance to get up close to
the actual facilities used in a shuttle launch.
Then, a double decker NASA bus will take us on a tour to
the monstrous
Vehicle
Assembly
Building
and
actual shuttle pad. We
will then go to the Apollo/Saturn V Center, which brings the
US
space
missions to the moon to life through dramatic multi-media shows,
hands on displays and real Apollo flight hardware.
You will see a real Saturn V Rocket, the most powerful
rocket ever built. Its
shear size, 363 feet in length and 6.2 million pounds in weight,
will take your breath away. We
then invite you to join us for an IMAX movie, which will take you
on awe-inspiring journeys into space, each featuring the “you
are there” big picture and big sound that made IMAX famous.
