. . . to my Spaceflight Fantasy
: My personal Kennedy Space Center Experience! . . .
This site features a Pictorial Essay covering
my visit to the Space Center at Cape Kennedy in Florida, last Winter of 2007. While NASA is currently celebrating the
50th year of its founding as a civilian space agency, the year 2009 will mark the celebration of the 40th year Anniversary
of the first moon landing- an a task that President Kennedy had boldly declared to put the first man on the moon "before the
end of the decade". . .
Indeed as American Astronaut Neil Armstrong aptly put it,
". . . a small step for man, but a giant leap for mankind. . ." that was in July of 1969.
. . almost half a century ago!
As our world ushers in today in the 21st-century,
will man ever make it to other worlds from beyond the Earth? . . .Our future in space will depend largely on how we look
at the Space Program- of yesteryears. . . here in my SpaceFlight Fantasy adventures : the KSC Experience!
