THE KENNEDY SPACE CENTER PLAYED A CRUCIAL ROLE IN LANDING THE FIRST MAN ON THE MOON

The Kennedy Space Center in Florida has a rich history dating back to the 1950s. However, it will always be remembered for the huge role it played in the Apollo program that successfully landed the first man on the moon in 1969.

This stellar achievement would go on to change the course of the world and human history, resulting in the famous words of Neil Armstrong, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”
