Once you’re ready for lunch why not have “Lunch with an Astronaut,” one of the Kennedy Space Centers’ most popular programs. It provides visitors with an opportunity to meet with a member of NASA’s Astronaut Corps, interact with them, and get their autograph.

One can surround themselves with the sky and float in the stars as they sit in the giant IMAX theaters and watch actual footage taken by NASA astronauts accompanied by realistic 3D special effects.

While you are at the Kennedy Space Center don’t forget to make reservations to see a live NASA launch of Space Shuttles, satellite carrying rockets, Martian Rovers, and planetary explorers. It is a breathtaking event to observe, and is sure to be a highlight of your visit.
