After nearly thirty years of service, the US space shuttle fleet is finally being retired by NASA, with two final launches in November 2010 and February 2010. To celebrate, the Kennedy Space Center has launched a number of new attractions including Star Trek Live, the dramatic IMAX film Hubble 3D, and the Family Astronaut Training Experience, which gives families the chance to train for a shuttle launch, all under the watchful eye of a veteran astronaut. Given its proximity to Orange County, the Kennedy Space Center makes the perfect daytrip for families booking Orlando holidays .
Shuttle launches have been a regular feature of the Florida tourist industry since the Columbia first blasted off in 1981, says Harry Hastings, director of Florida holiday specialists Ocean Florida. Everybody loves a Space Shuttle launch and it will be sad to see them go. The area itself is great. Cruise and stay holidays in particular are becoming more and more popular from nearby Port Canaveral
Space Shuttle Discovery will blast off from launch pad 39A on 1November 2010 on a mission that will see it deliver critical components to the International Space Station, while the final mission of the Space Shuttle Program will be care of the Space Shuttle Endeavour on 26 February 2010. While there are plenty of off-site viewing locations to take in these once in a lifetime events, NASA will be holding a draw to purchase official tickets for the Discovery launch between 16 August and 23 August.
Certainly whenever theres a launch, you tend to receive specific enquiries for Florida fly drives and itineraries along the Gold Coast, continues Hastings. If you want to take in the likes of Disneyworld, Universal Studios and the Kennedy Space Center renting a car is, like travelling around the rest of the United States, pretty much a necessity.
In addition to Florida cruises and fly drive holidays, Ocean Florida also specialise in the sale and rental of exclusive Florida villas,catering to a range of budgets. You can also add tickets to every single major attraction in Florida as part of your holiday, including the Kennedy Space Center.
