NASA visitor complex to open immersive 'Gateway' to deep space

Before NASA deploys its Artemis Gateway in orbit around the moon, the space agency will launch a different, but related type of "Gateway" at its Florida spaceport — and everyone is invited to come aboard.

NASA's Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex has announced "Gateway: The Deep Space Launch Complex," a new public attraction focused on the present and future of public and private space exploration. Like the lunar Gateway, which will be a waystation for Artemis astronaut crews on their way down to the moon's surface, the terrestrial "Gateway" will act as boarding ramp for Visitor Complex guests to experience modern-day spaceflight and future interstellar destinations.

"Gateway: The Deep Space Launch Complex" is slated to open in March 2022.

First look inside: NASA visitor complex set to open 'Gateway' to future of space travel

If NASA's Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex serves as a theme park for the space set, then its newest attraction is the agency's own take on "Tomorrowland."

"Gateway: The Deep Space Launch Complex," opening on June 15, invites the public to not just step, but fly into the future of space travel. Unlike the fantasy-based experiences found elsewhere in Florida though, Gateway grounds itself in the real activities of the United States' 21st century multi-user spaceport.
