Kennedy Space Center Tour 2026: Apollo Saturn V & Space Shuttle Atlantis (Part 2)

We’re back for Part 2 of our incredible day at the Kennedy Space Center! 🚀 If you missed the start of our mission, make sure to watch Part 1 here: Kennedy Space Center Tour 2026: Everything You Need to See! (Part 1) In this episode, we’re taking the bus out to the Apollo/Saturn V Center to stand underneath the massive Saturn V rocket and even touch a REAL piece of the moon! 🌕 We also head over to the Space Shuttle Atlantis exhibit, which is a truly emotional experience—from the shuttle’s dramatic reveal to the "Forever Remembered" memorial for the Challenger and Columbia crews. The highlight of our day? Meeting Astronaut Catherine "Cady" Thornton! 👩‍🚀 She shared amazing stories about her time on the Space Shuttle and the ISS (and we might have geeked out just a little bit). ‪@ExploreSpaceKSC‬ ‪@NASAKennedy‬ In this video: 🚀 Exploring the Firing Room & Saturn V Rocket 🌕 Touching a Moon Rock! 🍕 Lunch at the Moon Rock Cafe 🛰️ Seeing the Space Shuttle Atlantis & Hubble Replica 👩‍🚀 Q&A and Autograph with Astronaut Cady Thornton 🐱 The "Catronaut" Merch Haul!
