Thanks for watching! The U.S. Space and Rocket Center is definitely on my list if I ever find myself down in Alabama. I hope you're able to make it to KSC in the near future!

I used Epidemic Sound for all the music. I have a list of all the tracks in the description

Haha, that's incredible. I don't blame you, it must have been such a special experience getting to see a Shuttle launch. Definitely wish I would have been able to witness it, but up close at the KSC is a pretty good consolation I think. Thanks for watching!

Yeah the scale doesn't really translate well, definitely something you need to see in person to really take in

And astronauts sat ON TOP!!! The closest anyone can get to pad 39A is 3 miles away with a launch and the Saturn V was 369 feet tall... Those astronauts were only 369 feet away (on top of) 5 F1 engines. Unreal.

Nice! You'll have to recreate the photo if you go back, although you might have more trouble squeezing into it than when you were 11 lol

@@SeekingSaudades hahaha ill definitely give it a go

Thanks!

I definitely missed a good chunk of KSC myself. There is just so much to see, and the added time of filming it slowed me down even more. But it's a great excuse to go back and see it all over again! Thanks for watching, enjoy your next visit!

Thanks, happy to hear you enjoyed it!

Went to KSC on two day pass with the Tour on Day 1 and a Falcon Heavy Launch on Day 2 (Also did New York and DC as part of a bespoke Holiday that my 80 year old mother and I (Aged 57) did from the UK in Sep/Oct 2023)). Got to DC and found the Falcon Heavy shot had been put back a week and we were going to miss it. My Brother contacted me on a internet video call and said. You're there on Friday, there is an Atlas V going in the morning, so plans for the Thursday and Friday were changed. Did Day one on the Wednesday. Did the Rocket Garden First and got talking to another Brit who told me there was a Starlink Falcon 9 going up that night!! Did Atlantis next, as that was the Third Shuttle I saw on the Holiday (Enterprise in New York and Discovery in the NASM at Dulles (Not the first time I had seen the Enterprise as she was taken to the Paris Air Show in 1983 on a 747SCA and she stopped off for three days in the UK, at an airport three miles from where I lived!!!). Had to rush the Atlantis hall ( to get the tour bus) and didn't do the lower floor so didn't see the Wreckage of Challenger and Columba. Did the Saturn V and the New Tech bit and called it a day. Missed the Launch of the Starlink as the Launch was put back and put back, weather forecast looked like it was going to be scrubbed , so went to bed, woke up and found out that it had been launched in a gap in the storms. Did the Hero's Hall and the Atlas Launch on the Friday.

Then perhaps you shouldn’t go on the tour, and keep voting democrat. In words of Obama, “Use NASA for Muslim outreach”. Brilliant. He didn’t like NASA either

Trust me she still alive all men are liars

Thanks, I appreciate it!

Thanks! I'd set aside at least an entire day personally. I was there from when the gates opened to when they kicked us all out at the end of the day and I still didn't get to see everything. So definitely give yourself as much time as possible!

@@SeekingSaudades Cheers. I figured as much. I missed out on going to Dallas in April to view the eclipse and was going to go to Houston. But I think I will save up and do the double of Johnson SC and KSC. I really want to see those Saturns. I'll make do until then with your excellent video. Thanks again ✌️

It's definitely worth the trip, happy retirement!

The experience of space is priceless.

You're lucky to have witnessed a shuttle launch in person! It would definitely be really cool to go back and see Atlantis up close after seeing it in action, plus all the other new additions to KSC since then. I was there the day the Axiom 3 mission was supposed to lift off, but unfortunately the launch was scrubbed. It's on my bucket list to see one in person and I'm hoping I can make it down for Artemis II!

As far as I can remember, the command module was completely taken apart for the research led by Frank Borman.

I didn't show it in the video, but they have a memorial room dedicated to the Apollo 1 crew in the Saturn V building. The actual scorched capsule hatch is on display, along with other artifacts and astronaut memorabilia.

The Apollo 1 capsule is in storage, and is considered a gravesite. Not something the families want public access to. Search for the documentary on KZfaq

Yeah cause it was done all but green screen never existed

There was no one in the ship it’s all a lie😂😂😂 wake up America has lied nasa in Hebrew means decieve

I'll definitely look into it if I make it back to KSC in the future!

100%. NASA did a phenomenal job with the presentation and reveal of Atlantis. Definitely a dream come true getting to see it in person. Thanks for watching!

Yep!! Definitely got misty when the curtain opened!! Excellent job on the Atlantis Exhibit!!

Even though I kind of had a feeling how they were going to reveal the Atlantis, it was still a really cool way to do it, having the silhouette behind the curtain and then raising it was pretty awesome. I've now had the opportunity to see all 3 of the vehicles that ventured into space, a few years ago I was in LA and visited the California Science Center to see Endeavor and just a week after seeing the Atlantis, I was able to see the Discovery at the Smithsonian. As a space nerd, it was a dream come true. Would still like to see the Enterprise at some point

The absolute scale of complexity that was involved in the design, assembly, operation, and maintenance of the Space Shuttle just blows my mind. It's really incredible to think about!

I can definitely see where you're coming from. Seeing as that I was a solo traveller likely visiting KSC for one of the few times I'll ever get to experience it, I felt justified paying the ticket price to see things I've dreamt of since I was a kid. But I definitely understand how a larger group hoping to visit more often would struggle to afford doing so at that price point.

I don’t think the NASA budget includes upkeep of the tours and displays. They’re not going for a high profit margin, but paying everyone, benefits, insurance maintenance, etc… isn’t cheap. Your point is understandable and I hope they relook at the cost to visitors

NASA in Hebrew means to deceive they’ve lied to each and everyone of us none of them have gone out of space ever and no one ever will unless they believe in Jesus Christ

NASA only gets 0.4% of the federal budget, almost every single thing has ever done has been defunded by Congress at one point.

NASA doesn't pay for the Visitors Centre!!! it's run by a commercial organisation. The only bit of the deal run by NASA is the bus tour around the Space Centre.

Thanks for watching, happy to hear you enjoyed it!

Yes. It's insane! Our tax money paid for NASA and this is the thanks. Our family of three only got to the parking lot (which was $20!) Only to find out we could not afford the $210 to visit. In the early 70"s when I was youngest of 6 kids and.my dad was a poor teacher (not paid like today) our parents got all 8 of us in on a small budget. Not today! It's THEFT!

​@@videodistroTo think, all those ultra rich and billionaires got tax cuts from the GOP.

Expensive, yes. But worth every penny. Remember, they have to pay the tour guides and vendors, which is probably not part of the budget.

It’s not real

@@jablanco03 Just like your intelligence. 🤣🤣 It's one thing to be dim. It's another to shout it out to the world so proudly.

Thanks! It's definitely a must see destination, especially if you can time your visit with a rocket launch.

That's awesome! It must have been neat being one of the first to see the presentation and Atlantis on display. I knew the transition was coming too because I had done some research before visiting, and it still blew me away when I saw it. So well done by NASA.
