Kenneddy Space Station Florida?

Question

what can i do at the center can i go into a place where there is no gravity a sample of atrounat training like what can i do there other than see a space launch

Answer 1

they have tours.

when there's a launch, you cannot get onto the base.

but that's rare.

if you don't want to just go on a tour, don't go.

Answer 2

You can search for silly mistakes in their information about rockets:

spot the mistakes (photo taken December 1999 shortly after NASA lost a probe to Mars because of unit conversions)

Otherwise  - I was a little disappointed with Kennedy - I liked Johnson Space Center in Houston better

Answer 3

In a nutshell: it's a museum, an imax theater, a gift shop, and has guided tours of the actual space facility itself.

If you're a space nut, then you could spend all day reading about every piece in the museum there. I think they have an actual Apollo command module - but I could be wrong. I saw 'Casper' (Apollo 17 I think) at Huntsville's space and rocket center.

It's been a long time since I've been to Kennedy, but I used to go every year since I had family there and we visited every summer. I remember when they had all of these exhibits saying how great Hubble was going to be... boy were they ever right on that one!

You definitely don't go there expecting any thrill rides - it's not that kind of place. Our space program has a lot of history to it - and this is one of the best places to enrich yourself with its amazing stories.

Answer 4

I believe it is spelled Kennedy which is the space centre. The launching site is called Cape Canaveral. In order to be weightless you have to be in outer space. There is no such thing as antigravity.

Answer 5

Boy you hit the right place for this question. I have been to the space center twice and have not seen it all but I have a great video that I put together.

You cannot get any closer than 3 miles to the launch pads themselves.

As mentioned IMAX theaters, gift shops abound. I hear there is a shuttle flight simulator in the astronaut hall of fame. Haven't been there yet myself. The cost of admission gives you bus tours semi guided tours that take you to an Observation Gantry just outside launch pad 39, by the VAB and launch control, and the Saturn V building, where you see actual rockets and a real (one of two) saturn five rockets. Then you go by the space station facility. These buses travel in groups and arrive and leave every ten minutes at each of the above sites so there is no rush. Meet an astronaut, experience the last 3 minutes of Apollo eight launch. And my favorite..a shuttle launch simulator (new).

Walk among rockets of old from the tiny Atlas and mercury red stones to the Saturn family. You can even see the building they used for the outside shots of I dream of Jeanie TV show. It is a large wildlife refuge so almost stepping on an alligator is cool.

Kennedy Space Center is the manned rocket launch facility, Cape Canaveral is the unmanned launch facility. The Canaveral Missile Range. It is manned by those of Patrick Air Force Base.  I have pics of all types.

Answer 6

I think what you're asking is if there is any zero-gravity training flights.

No, I think that the only place that offers zero-gravity flights aboard specially-modified aircraft is in Russia, and it's quite expensive, but, still a heluva lot less expensive than going up to the space station as a tourist, which will cost you millions of dollars.
