Would You like to travel to Outer Space? How would we get there? What is it like? Well get ready because today we are taking a trip to NASA Headquarters in Cape Canaveral, Florida to visit the Kennedy Space Station!! **Not only will we visit outer space but we’ll look at many of the projects here on earth NASA is involved with

Student Itinerary: We will depart JFK Airport in New York City at 10:10 am and arrive in Cape Canaveral at 12:35pm From there we will be transported via bus to the Kennedy Space Station At the Space Station we will visit 5 departments: Shuttle and Stations Moon and Mars Solar System and Satellites Aeronautics Technology A FEW QUICK REMINDERS: Florida is quite warm this time of year so make sure you pack accordingly. The meteorologist is predicting a 30% chance of rain so make sure to bring you rain gear.
