With the space shuttle program on its last phases before total retirement there have been a lot of museums vying for these historical space crafts. In June Atlantis will fly its last mission and it will come home to Kennedy Space Center. Shuttle Discovery will go the Smithsonian Institution’s Air & Space Museum in Washington D.C. Right now the Smithsonian has the enterprise which is a full scale model. Shuttle Discovery will replace the enterprise. The final shuttle, Endeavor will go to the California Science Center in Los Angeles.
Brevard County Florida is affectionately known as the Space Coast. There is a lot of local pride for all the years that Americans have been exploring space. It is a great honor to have one of the many space crafts housed here for future generations to enjoy. If you have never been to Kennedy Space Center and the rocket garden it needs to go to the top of your bucket list. In the fall we hope to have Shuttle Atlantis join Redstone, Atlas and Titan rockets along with Mercury, Gemini and Apollo capsules.
I am proud to say I am a Space Brat, having been born and raised on the Space Coast of Florida. If you have never experienced a launch it is a once in a lifetime experience and each launch is so uniquely different from the previous one. The target date for STS-135 which is Atlantis last mission is June 28, 2011. There are always car and press passes to get up close and personal but sitting on the beach or along the Banana or Indian River are just as spectacular.
