There is a lot of walking at he Space Center. There are wheelchairs and Electric Scooters for rental. I just returned home from another trip to KSC and my elderly dad was there for a visit. He rented a Scooter and had a wonderful time. I think the rental fee was $ 32.00. The buses do have lifts to accommodate the wheel chairs and Scooters.
Back to the Atlantis building. You could spend hours in this building. They have wonderful interactive things to do for children and adults. I will only be touching the surface of things to see in this building. I really want all of you who decide to go to KSC to be awed by the experience. It is something to see for sure.
The Atlantis Space Shuttle was the 5th shuttle constructed and the last to fly into Space. It did a great jog flying for 25 years on 33 missions.
There were 6 Space Shuttles in total.
The Enterprise. This ship was never flown into the space, but was used to help test the feasibility of a Spaceship landing like a glider.
It is on display at the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum in New York City.
The Columbia was the second Shuttle created and the first to fly into Space. The first flight was April 12, 1981. The Columbia flew 28 missions and was lost on reentry February 1, 2003
The Challengers first flight was April 4th 1983. It flew 10 missions and was lost on take off January 28, 1986.
Discovery’s first flight was August 30th 1984. It flew 39 missions and is on display at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum at the Udvar-Hazy Center in Northern VIrgina.
Atlantis first flight was October 3, 1985. It flew 33 missions and lucky for us is on display at Kennedy Space Center.
Endeavour first flight was May 7, 1992 and flew 25 missions and is on display at the California Science Center in Los Angeles.
