Daily Waypoint | N 28° 31′ 23.88″ W 80° 40′ 54.84″ Saluting Old Glory in front of the LEM— The Apollo Lunar Module, originally designated the Lunar Excursion Module (LEM), was the lander spacecraft that was flown from lunar orbit to the Moon's surface during the U.S. Apollo program. It was the first crewed spacecraft to operate exclusively in the airless vacuum of space and remains the only crewed vehicle to land anywhere beyond Earth. Structurally and aerodynamically incapable of flight through Earth's atmosphere, the two-stage lunar module was ferried to lunar orbit attached to the Apollo command and service module. Its crew of two flew the lunar module from lunar orbit to the Moon's surface. During takeoff, the spent descent stage was used as a launchpad for the ascent stage which then flew back to the command module, after which it was also discarded. The Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex is the visitor center at NASA's Kennedy Space Center on Merritt Island, Florida. The center is north-northwest of Cape Canaveral on the Atlantic Ocean, midway between Miami and Jacksonville on Florida's Space Coast, due east of Orlando. It features exhibits and displays, historic spacecraft and memorabilia, shows, IMAX theaters, and a range of bus tours of the spaceport. "Space Shuttle Atlantis" exhibit is home to the real Space Shuttle Atlantis orbiter and the Shuttle Launch Experience, a simulated ride into space. The center also provides astronaut training experiences, including a multi-axial chair and Mars Base simulator. The visitor complex also has daily presentations from a veteran NASA astronaut. A bus tour, included with admission, encompasses the separate Apollo/Saturn V Center. https://www.fmgphoto.com/Feature-Special-Galleries/n-W7xDfN/Kennedy-Space-Center/i-dMPpzzf/A https://followingmygps.com/kennedy-space-center/ #KennedySpaceCenter #KSC #CapeCanaveral #Florida #NASA #apollo11 #Apollo #SaturnV #spaceexploration #space #apolloprogram #apollosaturnvcenter #discoveramerica #travelpics #travellife #travelinspiration #travelblog #travelphotography #fmgphoto #followingmygps #travelphotography #traveller #photography #travelamerica #lifestyle #LifeWellLived #tr (at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD_nfxOM420/?igshid=1l7wlvvv4y29a

Another shot from 2014 when the family visited Cape Kennedy and experienced the Apollo/Saturn V Center. The static display of the Apollo Saturn V was awe inspiring. So sad that this one did not fly! 10 July 2014 2018 © Michael Mercado // lost-tokyo.blogspot.com // lost-edo.tumblr.com // www.facebook.com/Lost.Edo #ApolloSaturnVCenter #Apollo #SaturnV #KennedySpaceCenterVisitorComplex #KennedySpaceCenter #SummerVacation #NASA #CapeKennedy #Floida #NoFilter #OriginalPhotography #NikonD600 #Nikon #D600 (at Apollo-Saturn V Center)

In 2014, the family visited Cape Kennedy and experienced the Apollo/Saturn V Center. The Apollo Saturn V Control Room was only one of the amazing sites here! 10 July 2014 2018 © Michael Mercado // lost-tokyo.blogspot.com // lost-edo.tumblr.com // www.facebook.com/Lost.Edo #ApolloSaturnVCenter #Apollo #SaturnV #KennedySpaceCenterVisitorComplex #KennedySpaceCenter #ControlRoom #LaunchControlCenter # #SummerVacation #NASA #CapeKennedy #Floida #NoFilter #OriginalPhotography #NikonD600 #Nikon #D600 (at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex)

Daily Waypoint | N 28° 31′ 23.88″ W 80° 40′ 54.84″ Lunar Roving Vehicle—The Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) is a battery-powered four-wheeled rover used on the Moon in the last three missions of the American Apollo program (15, 16, and 17) during 1971 and 1972. They are popularly known as "Moon buggies". Built by Boeing, each LRV weighed 463 lbs, could carry two astronauts, equipment and lunar samples, and had a designed top speed of 8 mph. They were transported to the Moon folded up in the Lunar Module's Quadrant 1 Bay. After being unpacked, they were driven an average distance of 19 mile on each of the three missions, without major incident. The Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex is the visitor center at NASA's Kennedy Space Center on Merritt Island, Florida. The center is north-northwest of Cape Canaveral on the Atlantic Ocean, midway between Miami and Jacksonville on Florida's Space Coast, due east of Orlando. It features exhibits and displays, historic spacecraft and memorabilia, shows, IMAX theaters, and a range of bus tours of the spaceport. "Space Shuttle Atlantis" exhibit is home to the real Space Shuttle Atlantis orbiter and the Shuttle Launch Experience, a simulated ride into space.

Daily Waypoint | N 28° 31′ 23.88″ W 80° 40′ 54.84″ Apollo/Saturn V Center's Moon Tree Garden Entrance—The Apollo/Saturn V Center is located north-northwest of Launch Complex 39 on the Kennedy Parkway near the Shuttle Landing Facility and is only accessible to visitors by bus tours from the Visitors Complex. The opening of the exhibit 1996 was historic for NASA as it was the first large exhibit to be opened inside a restricted area, only accessible by Kennedy Space Center tour buses. The 100,000-square-foot facility was built to house a restored Saturn V launch vehicle and features other exhibits related to the Apollo program. Other large exhibits include the Apollo 14 command module, an unused Apollo command and service module, and an unused Lunar Module. Also on display is a slice of Moon rock that visitors can touch. Other exhibits include a replica of the Lunar Roving Vehicle, a variety of space suits including Alan Shepard's Apollo 14 extravehicular suit, a piece of Apollo 13's Lunar Module, lunar samples from Apollo 15 and Apollo 17, and a large cut-away scale model of the Saturn V. Two theaters allow visitors to relive parts of the Apollo program – one simulates the environment inside an Apollo-era firing room during the launch of Apollo 8 and the other simulates the Apollo 11 landing. In 2017, "Ad Astra Per Aspera – A Rough Road Leads to the Stars" opened in the Apollo/Saturn V Center to commemorate the fallen astronauts of Apollo 1. https://www.fmgphoto.com/Feature-Special-Galleries/n-W7xDfN/Kennedy-Space-Center/i-xRHvvXp/A https://followingmygps.com/kennedy-space-center/ #KennedySpaceCenter #KSC #CapeCanaveral #Florida #NASA #spacecoast #Apollo #SaturnV #spaceexploration #space #apolloprogram #apollosaturnvcenter #discoveramerica #travelpics #travellife #travelinspiration #travelblog #travelphotography #fmgphoto #followingmygps #travelphotography #traveller #photography #travelamerica #lifestyle #LifeWellLived #travelmagazine #roadtripping #exploring #roadtrip (at Apollo-Saturn V Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB5gIdIjImX/?igshid=x4pmbyw2lhmj
