July 20, 2009 This special Overnight Adventure is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Camp Kennedy Space Center (KSC) participants to experience the Apollo/Saturn V Center at night and camp-out below an authentic Saturn V rocket – the same kind of rocket that launched astronauts to the moon. Campers have the chance to enhance their daily Camp KSC experience by spending the evening immersed in this extraordinary time in our nation’s history. They will relive the amazing events which occurred 40 years ago by enjoying a special showing in the Lunar Theater timed to coincide with the first historic steps on the moon.
