Visiting Kennedy Space Center to Watch a Space X Rocket Launch!

Ойын-сауық

In today's video we head to Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex to get an up close view of the Space X Falcon 9 rocket launch carrying the Dragon Capsule to the International Space Station. We arrived just before opening and caught a bus at the to the Saturn V building where they had grand stands set up at the Banana Creek Viewing area. The launch was perfect with no delays or issues! About 7 mins after the launch we started to see the first stage return back to earth followed by 2 sonic booms as the rocket landed back at Kennedy Space Center. After the launch we explored more of the visitor complex and even got to see the Atlantis exhibit, which is truly magnificent. A big thank you to Delaware North for providing us with tickets to see the rocket launch. If you would like to visit Kennedy Space Center be sure to check the website to see when the next launch is! www.kennedyspacecenter.com/ Tune in tomorrow for a new video.

    I travelled all the way from Germany to KSC to fulfill a childhood dream.. Goosebumps galore as soon as Atlantis was revealed and we entered the exhibition room.. Also seeing Saturn V was mind-blowing :D

One was definitely meant to happen another time I was over there, but it got delayed until after I’d gone home. I think it’s incredible that we have the ability to explore the unknown 🖖

    We are very lucky to catch the Space Shuttle Atlantis STS-132 launch from Space View Park in Titusville during our trip in May 2010 ... it was beyond amazing to see it in person, and hear and feel the boom. Then in 2012 we were fortunate enough to get in on the launch pad tour of pad 39A before they turned it over to SpaceX.

That movie and the reveal was one of the best things I had ever seen in my Life.. You ought to go over to the road behind the Disney Cruise Terminal for one of the landings.. You are much closer to the landing zone and you can truly feel that Sonic Boom!! And please tell me you are going to try and get a Media Pass for the Falcon Heavy Launch..
