Who says you have to leave the couch to enjoy one of America’s most wonderful and educational tourist attractions? With the aid of modern technology, many destinations worldwide have set up livestreams, webcams, and other unique services to allow visitors to virtually travel without actually leaving their own homes. One such spot is the Kennedy Space Center, an incredibly popular attraction that has long fascinated kids and adults who want to learn more about our solar system.
If you’ve ever dreamt of being an astronaut, you’ve likely fantasized about showing up to work at Kennedy Space Center. After all, this amazing destination in Brevard County, Florida is home to an active spaceflight facility that remains at the forefront of NASA’s most exciting projects and expeditions.
In fact, if you have even a modicum of interest in space exploration, Kennedy Space Center is an absolute must-visit. If you can’t hop on a plane to Florida to check out its fantastic visitor programs and tours, though, never fear: social media now allows enthusiastic viewers to feel like they’re at the space center without leaving home.
While you won’t be able to enjoy any of the hands-on exhibits during your virtual visit, you’ll still find plenty of ways to immerse yourself in the amazing world of NASA. In recent days, scientists and other experts from Kennedy Space Center have hosted a series of live stream events on their Facebook page, including kid-friendly lessons and demonstrations.
These livestreams are archived and available to view on the center’s Facebook page after initially airing. In the coming weeks, these virtual field trips are likely to continue, so check out Kennedy Space Center’s
