In 1995, the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) Visitor Complex stopped receiving funds from the government. Luckily, it was able to stay open by using money from investors and visitors. Thankfully, with their support, many more tours have been added to the KSC experience. Guests can visit the launch center, the countdown clock, and a mission control center. An IMAX theater shows movies about the space program. Visitors can experience a shuttle launch on the Shuttle Launch Experience ride. Many people from around the world come to visit KSC. About 2.5 million people visit each year. That makes a lot of money to pay all of the workers and to help the KSC grow. The KSC hires thousands of employees. Many of them are from Florida. When visitors come to the KSC, they spend a lot of money. This helps to keep local shops, restaurants, and hotels in business. Although many are still fascinated by space travel, the space program is declining. Less money is being given for space exploration. Despite this, millions of people still visit the Kennedy Space Center. Hopefully, it will continue to expand and help the Florida economy grow.
