A wonderful tribute to the Early days of US rocketry and the astronauts that made it possible.
This is one of the many sights at the Kennedy Space Center Visitors complex. For the complex, there is plenty of parking. Once you pass through the security checkpoint, this structure is the first one on your left. I have passed by this structure many times and only recently decided to visit it again. I am glad that I gave it another try. It was wonderful. You enter through the second floor up a ramp and into a round vestibule. The room holds an entertaining preshow with items like the robot from the original lost in space and other memorabilia. Then you enter a standing theater that shows the Heroes and legends show. After this people are directed toward a series of hands-on displays showing various early NASA rocketry memorabilia displayed in different methods. I found it fascinating and engaging. Following that there is a nice tribute to the various astronauts honored by being inducted into the Hall of Fame. There is a fascinating photo opportunity where you can choose an astronaut and their picture is displayed on the wall and you can get your picture taken with them. Overall, It is a very nicely done tribute to the brave souls that made our current space flight possible. Well done!

Would not have minded if I had missed this
We spent a day at the Kennedy Space Center. Its a nice thing to induct all of the astronauts into the Hall of Fame, but there are now so many of them, and I did not find it particularly interesting to learn in detail about every one of them. I would not have minded if I had missed this.
