Kennedy Space Centre
Kennedy Space Center was one of the places i went to when i was on holiday in Florida. It's a great place to visit. It is a very interesting place because it is where all the space rockets get launched from and there is a lot of things to look at. You get to see the launch pad where the rocket blast of from and you can stand under rocket model. There is a lot models of the high tech gadgets that NASA uses for their space missions. All i can say if your a big sci fi fan or if are just interested in learning about what NASA does then i think Kennedy Space Center is the place to visit because it has a lot of things to look at and there is also a bus tour which takes you around all the of Kennedy Space Center. Now i am going to talk a little bit more about the space centre.
