Cape Canaveral

Cape Canaveral is a prominent coastal area in Florida known for its significant role in space exploration. It houses the Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, where rockets are launched into space. Established in the 20th century, it was the site of historic missions, including the Apollo moon landings. Today, it continues to be a hub for both government space missions and commercial space travel, with various companies launching satellites and crewed missions. Its strategic location near the equator helps improve rocket efficiency during launches, making it ideal for space activities.
