Yeah I'm a pretty big fan of the space race and learning all about that stuff and was so psyched to check out the space coast when I got a chance to. Outside of Kennedy Space Center there really isn't much to see and it's pretty depressing tbh. Really rundown, gave Scooby Doo ghost town vibes.

Reply to comment by DavoTB in TIL that Walt Disney World began as "The Florida Project". Dummy corporations were used, by Walt Disney Productions, to buy up 27,000 acres of land to avoid bursts of land speculation in the Orlando area. Early rumors assumed possible development by NASA, Ford, the Rockefellers, and Howard Hughes. by jdward01
