Kennedy Space Center in Florida Keeps Retired Astronauts on the Payroll — and You Can Meet Them in Person

"The Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex on Merritt Island, Florida, offers a unique experience for visitors to learn about the American space program. It allows visitors to meet retired astronauts, hear their stories, and witness the massive spacecrafts that have taken astronauts to space. The center hosts various programs, including the Astronaut Encounter and Chat With an Astronaut, where guests can interact with astronauts in intimate settings. The center also continues to host launches and is expanding with new areas like the Gantry at Launch Complex 39." - Caroline Eubanks Caroline Eubanks Caroline Eubanks is a Lowell Thomas Award-winning travel writer and the author of “This Is My South: The Essential Travel Guide to the Southern States.” Her work has been published by Condé
