(NAPSI)-If you want an "in-space" experience-without leaving Earth or spending millions-you may want to visit Florida's Space Coast.
Instead of paying $1.7 million for a Virgin Galactic space experience and waiting until the latter part of 2008 to head to space, a trip to Space Coast can provide "out of this world" experiences right away, for as little as $38.
Space Discoveries at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex offers "space for less." Guests can experience breathtaking views a quarter million miles above Earth with the IMAX film "Magnificent Desolation: Walking on the Moon 3D," a close-up of rarely seen NASA footage narrated by Tom Hanks.
Space seekers looking for a full day of cosmic expeditions partake in the Astronaut Training Experience (ATX) designed by NASA astronauts, immersing visitors into the realm of hands-on preparation for the experience of space.
Those looking for VIP treatment can tour launchpads and have lunch with an astronaut for the ultimate inside scoop.
Gravity fans looking to experience the spacey side of the coast keep their toes in the sand and stars in their eyes while relaxing on the 72 miles of beaches, where shuttle launches can be seen year-round, or take surfing lessons at the world-famous Ron Jon Surf Shop. Featured among Money magazine's "Best Places to Vacation," the Space Coast is comprised primarily of area cities Titusville, Cocoa Beach, Melbourne and Palm Bay, and is only 35 miles east of the arena of Orlando attractions.
To make astronaut dreams a reality at Florida's Space Coast, visit the Web site for more information at www.space-coast.com or call (800) 93-OCEAN.
For the inner astronaut in most of us: Space, the final frontier, may be easier to experience than you ever imagined, thanks to a destination that offers "space for less."
