My dad used to work there as an engineer during the shuttle days and I remeber going there with him when I was younger during bring your kids to work days. Brought tears to my eyes and I want to bring him back there as soon as I can with my family.
Awesome video Rick and Nikki
I can't wait to go back and show my fiance for the first time. I can't wait to see his reaction to everything. I think I might cry seeing him so happy.
SO COOL!! 😃😃😃
This video was out of this world! 🤩💫🌏
I cried at the reveal of Atlantis when we were there a few years ago. My kids asked why... hard to explain growing up fascinated with the program and watching 2 of the shuttles and the astronauts being lost live on tv.
Awesome. Hope you had fun. Thanks for the video. 🚀🌕
Cool place. Nikki got me all emotional watching her get emotional lol
👌We love having a day Kennedy space center when on holiday. It also makes a more chill day when doing theme parks everyday.
I went here about 2 years for a Felid trip it was so fun
Now I just want to see a Rixflix trip into space!
Me too!
Well I really need to get back to Kennedy Space centre. It has seriously changed so much. Having been twice before that Saturn V just blows your mind especially when you think of when it was constructed.
Anyone who can drop that many Airplane references in one video is my kind of video host.
Love this place i was almost in tears when Atlantis was revealed
Great video thank you
We went to NASA a few years ago & hands down the reveal of Atlantis is the best ever, it gave me a lump in the throat & as a 🇬🇧 it was awesome to be able to feel your pride.
There are TWO Saturn V rockets at the US Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville AL. One dominates the Huntsville skyline, the other is preserved inside a large display building. You drive past both on I-565. So maybe 4 of them left! It's been many years since I've been to KSC... video brings back alot of memories!
Awesome video. I never thought of going to the Kennedy space center. But now I really want yo go there. Thanks Rick and Nikki.
That you for showing us. I want to go there now!!
I went there about 40 years ago and still remember the rockets. I think it's time to go back. Great video.
Good video. I met and worked with some of the people who looked into the shuttle accidents. Never seen that shuttle display/museum area before, so very emotional - but also memories of the hard work where people tried to take the lessons from those accidents and make things better for the future.
Incredible video Rick (and Nikki). Have not had the chance to visit, but this was an epic road trip. Growing up in the 80's, I, like many kids my age, had dreamt of becoming an astronaut. And "fun fact" my JHS in NY was named after Virgil Grissom. I still remember watching the Challenger launch in class as a kid-I was the one crying. But, on a happier note-loved the Airplane quotes lol. Really wonderful vlog-thank you for sharing!
I haven't been to Kennedy for about 15 years. I really need to plan a trip. They have added so much. Thank you for this video!
We went 2018 booked our Tickets through Virgin Holidays.
Which included a lunch with an Astronaut the Kids loved it.
The Saturn 5 Rocket always blows be away at the Size only topped by he reveal of Atlantis.
My kids jaws just dropped.The Kennedy Space Center overall is just Awesome as my Son would say.
Great Video as always Rick and Nikki.
Hopefully bump into you April 2022
Great video can’t wait to go one day
Ironically the freeze dried ‘space food’ is not actually used in space. Too crumbly and dusty for a capsule with no atmosphere. Looks like an awesome day out. Will definitely go when I’m next in Orlando. thanks for doing these vlogs.
That makes sense
Thank you for this. Between this and your Universal content, it really helped me plan my families upcoming vacation.
This is something my husband and I would LOVE to do! Thanks for sharing!!
That is fascinating!
Thanks for the amazing video an omg I haven't been in years.
Great video! Can't wait to take the kids!
Brilliant loved the road trip such an amazing and inspirational place to visit 😎
Such an awesome vlog.Outstanding and out of this world!🌎
super glad you did this video. my son is fixing to turn 13 and he's obsessed with space. taking home there as a surprise on his bday
I was there for the STS-94 Columbia launch back in what 97? I was only 20 at the time…still one of the most impressive things I have ever seen in person. Going back for the first time end of May.
This is the BEST road trip yet! Wow! I’ve got to take my family there!
Wow what an ace road trip Rik and Nikki
Great video! We enjoyed our trip there several years ago. Just like you both, my husband and I were emotional at the Atlantis reveal. They did such a phenomenal job!
Rix and Niikki, because of your blog I bought tickets for December after we attended the 3rd and 4th meetup.
Just went with my friends and their kids (3, 5, 7, and 8) this past weekend and had an amazing time. It truly was inspiring. Another great video!
I’ve been a few times when I come over from the UK - they also do specialised bus tours for an extra cost, well worth it if you’re into it. I went on one down to the airforce base to where Alan Shepard first took off and you can go in the blockhouse. Also on that tour go to where the Apollo 1 was, and see the memorials for the 3 astronauts and also see the Mercury 7 monument. Just awesome
OMGOSH!! I am crying watching this!!! I remember when the Apollo ship was in trouble and my mom on her knees praying for the Astronauts to make it home and Walter Cronkite tearing up on the news...... This is so touching and amazing! You definitely brought it home. This is comprehensive! Thanks for all the tips! Love the Astronaut displays... very touching. The simulator looks like fun too! This place offers so much to do! WOW! The rocket Garden is brilliant!!! Thanks so much for this!
Love this! When we went the bus tours weren't happening but we will be moving down soon and my son asked for a membership!
Great video!!!! We are planning a trip to Florida in 2022 and this was one of the places I/We wanted to stop at. There was alot of great information and tips. I'll be watching even more of your videos on Florida to see what else we can do besides parks...and nascar ☺
💖
The Kennedy Space Centre is such a fabulous place! Your video really did it justice. Nice one, Rick and Nikki :)
My husband and I went there in 2015, it was so neat to be in the presence of all that amazing history. So much to do, see, and learn. We enjoyed it very much and would like to go back soon. Also, it was during the holidays and they had a light and music show in the rocket garden that was awesome! Great video you guys!
I was hoping you'd go a little deeper in the Imax area. There's an exhibit in the corner of the building toward the Rocket Garden called NASA Now, where they have a SpaceX Dragon capsule on display. They also have models of the Orion capsule and the SLS there, but the Dragon is the real thing, from the COTS-2 mission to the space station.
I'm not ready to go see Atlantis in her current state, yet, I think. I worked on the Shuttle program through much of my career, and I was disappointed her career was cut short. She and Endeavour had plenty of flights left in them. If the whole program had been managed the way it was for the post-Columbia flights, we would never have lost any of them. Someday I'll go visit Discovery. She got 39 flights, she was ready to retire.
Thanks for the video. I haven't gone to the Visitor Center since they moved the Astronaut Hall of Fame inside. They've also added the Delta II since I was there last, that was another system I worked on, including that very rocket that got put in the Garden. I guess I'm not used to having to pay to go see rockets. They're supposed to pay me! :D
Thanks for taking us to the KSC! When I was a kid I wanted to be an astronaut, but I ended up being a teacher lol. Definitely want to put this on the list for my next Florida trip! ❤️🚀
Nikki is the Real McCoy.
Haha! Dr. Leonard McCoy to be exact! 😂
The challenger disaster makes me so angry! Totally preventable! There’s a documentary I think on Netflix that goes into detail on it…
Great video. Going there soon, on a cruise ship tour, so only have a little over 3 hours. Wondering if have time to take the bus to the Saturn/ Apollo center ? and still have time see Atlantis Center, the Rocket Park, and the Hall of Heros.
Hii!! New subscriber!💜💜
😎👋
Try landing on the moon again!! It's been 50+ years
I was just telling my wife, it would be nice if we did go to the moon again before I die. I was alive but too young to remember the last time.
do they have anything normal kid friendly to eat there??
Are the buses wheelchair accessible?
Yes
@@RixRoadTrips awesome thanks for the response!
Didn’t you do a video in Daytona? I can’t find it?
No, I did New Smyrna beach
