Cape Canaveral – NASA

Cape Canaveral is a headland located on the east coast of Florida, USA. It is known for its significance in space exploration and is home to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, which has been the launch site for many historic space missions, including the Apollo moon landing missions and the Space Shuttle program.

Cape Canaveral is situated on a narrow strip of land that extends into the Atlantic Ocean, making it an ideal location for rocket launches due to its proximity to the equator and its location on the east coast of the United States. The Kennedy Space Center offers visitors the chance to explore interactive exhibits, see real spacecraft, and watch live rocket launches.
