NASAs space shuttle program is coming to an end. After the planned November 12th STS-129 space shuttle mission, there will only be 5 shuttle flights left. The end of an era is at hand. Before this part of history is over, maybe you will be able to see a shuttle launch.
NASA plans to complete the 5 final space shuttle missions in 2010. If you get the opportunity to see a space shuttle launch, by all means take it. The year 2010 will be the last time for anyone to watch a space shuttle launch.
The best way to plan a vacation to see a shuttle launch is to combine your launch viewing plans with plans to visit Orlando amusement parks, the Kennedy Space Center, or the beautiful Florida beaches. That way, if the shuttle mission is delayed, you can still have a memorable vacation experience. Titusville and Orlando, about an hour away from each other, are both popular vacation areas.
There are several places near the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) to view a shuttle launch. Titusville, across the river from KSC, is full of popular launch viewing sites. Space View Park in Titusville is a popular location for space launch enthusiasts.
You can also see a launch from two places at the Kennedy Space Center- the Visitor Complex or the NASA causeway. To see a launch at KSC, you have to get tickets in advance. The tickets often sell out rapidly and there are no refunds. The NASA causeway is the only public location at KSC with a view of the launch pad because the Visitor Complex area has trees and things blocking the view.
If you take some of your vacation in the Orlando area, you can enjoy visiting the Disney World Resort or Universal Studios. You can experience Discovery Cove and swim with a dolphins or take a behind-the-scenes tour a dolphin nursery in Sea World. The Bob Carr Performing Arts Centre brings national performances to the town.
So plan now to visit NASA and Orlando in 2010 on your next vacation. Hopefully, you will be able to view one of the final flights of this amazing spacecraft. There are only a few chances left to see a shuttle launch from the Kennedy Space Center. Your vacation will be filled with memories, whether you see a launch, or just enjoy a fantastic Florida vacation. - 30423
