Today I woke up at 6:30 a.m. and Sarah drove me to school. We began our ride to the Kennedy Space Center at 7:50 a.m. and it took us 2 hours till we were there!
Everyting was really overwhelming and big 🙂 We started with a bus tour to the Apollo/Saturn V Center! We saw one of the first rockets of the world and had a very nice introduction to the KSC (Kennedy Space Center) from our bus driver. At the destination we saw two videos about the NASA and the way to the first moon landing. Then we had time to walk around by ourselves and there was an impressive rocket laying on the ground of the whole hall. We took great pictures in front of a green screen with astronaut clothes on. After that we had our lunch break outside and enjoyed the sun! 🙂
Here all rockets are build and the building is as big as 3 Empire State Buildings! 🙂
Back at the Main Visiting Point we got 3 hours to walk around by ourselves! First Annemarie, Ana and I went into the Atlantis Shuttle Center and watched a movie about the story of the first space shuttle and one moment later we stayed in front of it and could admire the Shuttle in real life.
In the Gateway we had the chance to stay in a simulator and we went on a trip to mars and that was sooo much fun!
In the impressive rocket garden we called our parents (and I called my grandma too) to show them around the visiting area and it was nive to see them again. – By the way I think it’s so crazy that we can connect from places all over the world: My mom and my cousin called us from Italy, my grandma from her city near Munich, my dad from Munich and me from the KSC! – That’s impressive! 🤗✨
In another building we saw the mars rover and other roboters and that was really interesting too see – they weren’t worn out or anything like that after their missions and that was really interesting!
In the universe theater we heard a woman talk about KSC in general and then about the next events and departures from rockets there! 🙂 🚀
At last we saw the movies in the heros and legends building which was basically the Hall of fame of astronauts from the NASA and the biggest achievements. ✨✨
We rode to the hotel and here we have a very nice room to stay!
After a short break we went again to an Outlet Mall and I got a really good seafood bowl there 🦐 🥣 ! As you can see there was a beautiful sunset, the shops weren’t crowded, the dinner was nice and I’m sooo happy!
And we got free cookies at Publixxxxxx 🍪
This day was so amazing and I saw a lot of interesting things and it all seems more like a dream than reality! ✨🤗
