Return to the Kennedy Space Center

By

Made it back to the Kennedy Space Center in 2021 while in Florida to see the Blue Angels. During my visit last year, the Apollo Center with artifacts and a Saturn V rocket on display was closed. This year, it was open! Here’s photos of some new additions in 2021:
