The Kennedy Space Center is a wildlife refuge and a shuttle launching site.
It is home to the shuttle fleet made up of the Columbia, the Discovery,
the Atlantis, and the Endeavour as well as the sanctuary for endangered
species such as Bald Eagles, Sea Turtles, Manatees, and Alligators.
Two concepts that are seldom mentioned in the same sentence are now united
in the Kennedy Space Center.
The Kennedy Space Center is located in Cape Canaveral, Florida. It was
here that the Voyagers 1&2 left our Earth in 1977 and they are still
in space today, further than 68 times the Sun-Earth distance. It is also
here, on Merritt's Island, that about 134,000 acres of land is dedicated
to preserving our wildlife.
The Kennedy Space Center is a place of many facets, enjoyable for many
different kinds of extremests. Visit their home here: Kennedy
