  • In today's vlog we head to the Space Coast to Kennedy Space Center for the grand opening of their newest exhibit and ride in Gateway: The Deep Space Launch Complex! Where we discover the current and upcoming cutting edge innovations of space exploration from NASA and their partners. Then enter the spaceport of the future and launch aboard one of four unforgettable journeys to distant worlds on an immersive ride. We were able to show you the static video portion of the ride as well! We also got to see space flown artifacts, that was one of my favorite parts of the new exhibit! We also take a look at the Space Shuttle Atlantis, which was the last Space Shuttle ever flown. This was a really exciting trip to KSC and we hope you had fun joining along on this adventure! Thank you for watching and we'll see you tomorrow with a new vid!

      That’s fine, but add Ceres, Haumea Makemake, Eris and possibly many more. Space is full of lots of cool stuff. Don’t limit yourself to only what we knew years ago.

    I love these shorter videos. The 20 minute mark is really nice. Sometimes when I see 30+ minute videos I don't watch them because I just don't have time.

      @mrscb5303 Před 2 lety

      You do know you can push pause and finish a video later? 😉 I’m just teasing! Personally I am the opposite, when I see one under 30 minutes I’m sad it’s gonna be over too fast 😊

    Living in Titusville near NASA we find all kinds of space memorabilia at estate sales and garage sales. We found several 8mm movies we had transferred to DVD and I posted on CZcams for everyone to enjoy. They are from the ‘60s. We love the Neil Armstrong items we have found. I even have an Armstrong Gravitational Scale!! Let me know if you want to see it.

  • @bethmorganstrumeweightloss2319

    Hey Tim! So glad that you got to try out my ride! I work out at Kennedy space Center and I work at Gateway inside of spaceport. Really wish I could’ve been there the day that you were there. But I was working elsewhere. Are you going to be coming out for Artemis?

    It will be so neat to finally get to see all this. Technology is really incredible. I remember back in 2015 I think when y’all had lunch with the female astronaut and how cool that was.
    Although, I really hope they don’t forget to invest in healing the home we have, rather than looking for a new one out in space.

  • @MichaelSoti
    @MichaelSoti Před 2 lety +3

    Tim, you have to look into the firing room tour. It's one of the pricier tours but not a VIP. They only give a few security clearences a day so you have to look into it early. But they take you to the firing room from the challenger disaster that has almost been untouched. You also get to walk up to and into the lobby of the VAB. It is absolutely massive and there is some really amazing memorabilia throughout the buildings. It's definetly worth doing and pretty affordable for what it is. They also gave a tour around the property to see the American Eagle nests, HUGE!

    • @SpaceSPAN
      @SpaceSPAN Před rokem

      Those tours were temporary, and ended years ago. The Launch Control Center is now being used by NASA for Project Artemis at Pad 39B, and SpaceX for Pad 39A. The VAB is also closed to the public due to Artemis operations.

    I know Jenn said she was disappointed because these kinds of videos don’t get as many views as the theme park ones, but I loved this video. We just spent yesterday at KSC, and we’ve been saving this video to watch after we saw the new Gateway exhibit. We also enjoyed seeing the present and future developments in space exploration and LOVE KSC (just bought an annual pass - take two - our first one we did not get as much use out of, due to the pandemic). I love seeing your excitement for KSC stuff. Thank you for making this video.

    Having driven through KSC property every day to and from work in Titusville, I wondered why the heck they were building a hotel out on the mainland part of the 405 next to the police hall of fame. It looks like a hotel for KSC visitors, really. Being as I just moved to the midwest last month, I have forgotten what the name was (it was some prolific hotel chain). Glad to see someone I "know" got to go there. Really nice view of the VAB ... and the construction of the new bridge on the 405.
