  • In today's video we head to Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex to get an up close view of the Space X Falcon 9 rocket launch carrying the Dragon Capsule to the International Space Station. We arrived just before opening and caught a bus at the to the Saturn V building where they had grand stands set up at the Banana Creek Viewing area. The launch was perfect with no delays or issues! About 7 mins after the launch we started to see the first stage return back to earth followed by 2 sonic booms as the rocket landed back at Kennedy Space Center. After the launch we explored more of the visitor complex and even got to see the Atlantis exhibit, which is truly magnificent. A big thank you to Delaware North for providing us with tickets to see the rocket launch. If you would like to visit Kennedy Space Center be sure to check the website to see when the next launch is! www.kennedyspa... Tune in tomorrow for a new video.

    Thank you , thank you , thank you so much. I love your Space Center videos and that rocket launch was so exciting to watch. So many of us will never have the opportunity to see something like that in person and you do these vlogs so well it is almost like being there.

    I travelled all the way from Germany to KSC to fulfill a childhood dream.. Goosebumps galore as soon as Atlantis was revealed and we entered the exhibition room.. Also seeing Saturn V was mind-blowing :D

    Tim you did a great job with keeping the rocket in view the entire time.. And what you said about Atlantis and how it is displayed is so true.. That movie and the reveal was one of the best things I had ever seen in my Life.. You ought to go over to the road behind the Disney Cruise Terminal for one of the landings.. You are much closer to the landing zone and you can truly feel that Sonic Boom!! And please tell me you are going to try and get a Media Pass for the Falcon Heavy Launch..

    This gave me chills 😍 Always wanted to see a rocket launch, I’m sure one happened when I was in Florida one time, but didn’t get to experience it. One was definitely meant to happen another time I was over there, but it got delayed until after I’d gone home. I think it’s incredible that we have the ability to explore the unknown 🖖

    2006 I believe is when I came here. I bought an orange Space outfit that I liked but and I actually wanted to wear it in this ride that spins and feels like an F-15. Not a smart move, as when I came off of it, I felt like I was about to drop.

    Great video mate! So I finally made it out to the KSC while I was in Orlando recently (vlog to come!) and as luck would have it they scheduled a spaceX launch for the evening I was going to be there!! I was super excited and even bought a VIP launch viewing ticket, but the day before I was set to visit they scrub the launch :-( and I was leaving Orlando the following day! Never mind. Maybe next time. I'm hopefully coming back to Florida in January so will keep checking for rocket launches at that time!
