Kennedy Space Center on the Atlantic coast of Florida will open a new 50,000 square foot attraction next March. NASA calls it "Gateway: The Deep Space Launch Complex."
New goals for space travel were set during the last administration, including missions both to the moon and to Mars. With attention again on space travel, the new Gateway will simulate what that's going to be like with multiple guest experiences.
At "Spaceport KSC" you'll enter a galactic airport of the future. You'll hear atmospheric airport chatter, watch launches and landings through the windows, and view destination promo videos. You can then board a spaceship (2-story 4D flying theater) for one of four different journeys.
On the second floor you'll get up close to an actual (SpaceX) Falcon 9 rocket booster which launched a satellite in 2016 and was a side booster on the first Falcon Heavy launch in 2018. Watch its arrival on site:
"Featuring a comprehensive collection of modern-day spacecraft, Gateway will offer the opportunity to explore the future of space travel in a way never before possible."
