Florida Trip - Kennedy Space Center - ABSOLUTE MUST SEE

in #travel7 years ago (edited)

Kennedy Space Center

If you ever go to Florida, you have to go to the Kennedy space center.
I think this was the best day we spend during the holidays.
You feel like a kid in a candy store and can't help but buy as many souvenirs as possible after you've seen everything.

All photos are taken with a Nikond5200 18-55mm kit lens.

Apollo Pod

The apollo era unified the USA with the goal to land men on the moon. On the photo you can see the Apollo 14 crew capsule. This piece has been on the moon and provided space for 3 people. Just image being in that tiny space with 2 other people and landing on the moon. It's so glorious and made a big impact on me when I saw it.

Lunar rock sample

This rock actually came from the moon, they also have a smaller sample which you can touch! You can touch literally touch the moon!!

Rocket

This huge rocket is probably the first thing you see when you enter the terrain. It is gigantic and it's very hard to get the whole rocket in 1 photo. Notice how big the fuel tank is (orange)!

Space Shuttle Atlantis

You can see the space shuttle Atlantis from various angles after you've seen an epic movie! It's very cool to see how this space shuttle is different from other designs which they have previously used.

I want to visit too the next time I am around. It would be really cool to touch a rock that literally comes from another planet.

Hey Erlik, If I could I'd fly 10 hours just to go to the Kennedy Space Center and then go straight back to the Netherlands, it's still worth it!

I would not go that far... 😁
But the next time I am in Florida this will be very high on the to-do list.

Haha, I want to see the Florida keys next time I go too!

So nice! remind some memories of young period :D

haha glad these pictures made you reminiscent :)
