Kennedy Space Center



Hi everyone! I got to tag along with the Pathfinders on a VIP, behind-the-scenes tour of Kennedy Space Center. Have you ever seen the space shuttle? Wow, is it big! I have so many things to share and pictures to show you. We’d better get started.

Kennedy Space Center launch headquarters is located in Orsino, Florida on a wildlife refuge eight times the size of Manhatten! That is huge! Since the Pathfinders were with me, we were allowed to go places and see things that folks don't get to see on the regular tours.

Take a look at my photos and be sure to read the captions. See if you can find at least one new fact about me and a new science, math or history fact.

The NASA building behind us the largest building in the world!

This is the Endeavour. Notice the size of the people on the ground.

This man is standing on a platform underneath the wing of the Endeavour.

There are 25,000 heat resistant tiles on the space shuttle. Here's a close-up look!

This is me, Bennett, with my beary official NASA guest badge. I certainly do NOT weigh 800 pounds. Do you think there might be something that does weigh 800 pounds?

Hope you enjoyed the big day at Kennedy Space Center. Think about what you learned today and remember to share it with someone.

Until next time . . . up, up and away we go!
