Complete Space Shuttle Atlantis Experience Kennedy Space Center 

To see this in person is something that cannot be described. I went in with my father thinking it to be an exhibit with a virtual reality type experience. Atlantis... welcome home... A 42 year old man with his 75 year old father were reduced to tears. As a child I wanted to be an Astronaut because of the Space Shuttle program. The wonder of this experience brought me back to those days for me and my father. Very emotional, seeing this brings it all back. To see it in person will have you reaching for a tissue or six...

33 missions, 26 years, over 126 million miles. Atlantis Welcome home.

I was a little embarrassed when the projection ended and I enter the Atlantis pavilion all in tears and the lady who work there saw me. "It's just a trash in my eye", I said to her trying to make a joke. "Don't worry honey, it happens all the time" she said to me with a comforting smile. I loved the whole experience.

Nearly had tears in my eyes remembering that moment when finally the projection screen was raised and Atlantis was uncovered just in front of me... great movie, but yes: everyone should experience that in person! It definitely was one of the highlights of my last year vacation in the U.S.

From 11:20 just pure goosebumps!! The first time I experienced it in person, I had no idea what was coming and it was amazing!!

I watched that in 2016 just after AIAA conference participation. I never expected that real Atlantis come up behind the screen and my eyes were filled with full humidity. Now 2024, I want to re-watch this one as an Aerospace Engineer

Came all the way from Glasgow Scotland to see this rare bird, nothing prepared me for the sneaky way she was presented when curtain lifted... Wiped away tears at that point but that was nothing compared to the emotions the Challenger Columbia Tribute brought... Forget Disney and Universal, if you want to see what really put Florida on the map, look no further, an amazing tribute to amazing people.. Thank you for the amazing memories...

11:39 - When he says, "Atlantis..Welcome home!" My god, I cried like I someone dropped a cinder block on my foot. The presentation, the music, then when the curtain lifts 👌 It's moments like these that reassures me the kid in me is still alive. Because the amazingness of a spaceship touched my heart in a way I didn't expect 🥹 I just wanted to go to the moon after that lol.

“It’s not a rocket, it’s a shuttle.” Is my favorite line ever.

I will always remember the moment the shuttle appeared in front of us last year, great show !

: ) Love the way the movie ends and the real shuttle appears.

Saw it today. When the real Atlantis appeared behind the screen I started tearing up.

Goosebumps! I remember everyone applauding when the shuttle was revealed.

This was the best reveal I have ever seen in my entire life...........

Bawled my eyes out. I almost had to crawl on my hands and knees. Beautiful.

I visited this exhibit. I loved it when the Shuttle itself appeared at the end of the film. The crowd I was with went nuts too! 😁 I work in the Space Program, and this moment was for me like a Trekkie meeting the REAL Starship Enterprise. I literally shook with awe and excitement. It’s one of the greatest moments of my life.

33 missions, 26 years, over 126 million miles. Atlantis Welcome home!!!!! We did visit this center last week. Amazing experience to see this in person. Words cannot describe this experience. Simply amazing.

absolutely the highlight of Florida holiday- the moment Atlantis is revealed, you'll cry!!

Very moving experience! Was absolutely blown away by how well KSC presents their exhibits! Goose bumps!

Went and saw this a month ago. So glad I wasn’t told ahead of time what to expect. Best reveal ever!! I gasped and was in unexpected tears. Just wow!!!

I remember standing in line for this thinking it would be a boring movie but this was an experience that was indescribable. I wanted my jaw to drop when i saw the actual shuttle but remembered that there were other people around me.

I took the assembly building tour at KSC some years ago. As we came round the back of the assembly building I was gobsmacked to see Atlantis tail and the guide told us the shuttle was in the assembly building and we would see it close up (the experience centre was not yet completed). Fascinated by it and couldn't believe how small it was in real life.

I’ve been on roller coasters. I’ve done the theme park rides. But this was one of my all time favorite attractions to experience. So well done and so moving to actually see in person. You can’t help but be a little starstruck being in the presence of these shuttles. They changed our lives in more ways than we know. 🇺🇸

The designer of the show deserves a pat on the back the superb and a really excellent show to the reveal is top notch theatre.

No matter how many times I watch these vids, I still get goosebumps. The view from Atlantis' windows. 😍

Best display of any of the retired shuttles! Hail Atlantis!

I saw this in October of this year after wanting to see Atlantis for years! Have to say that when I saw her in front of me, I cried!😬 Very overwhelming! Worth the trip from Scotland! Oh got to see the launch of the Psyche probe! Man, best day ever!!👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇸🚀

Aaaaaaaand again tears in my eyes... Thanks for this video! You'll never forget this moment.

i remember watching this in person and it was absolutely magical

I was there on April 8th and when the shuttle does appear at the end was unexpectedly awesome.

The origin story of the American space shuttle is amazing : D

Loved seeing this in real life. It made me cry!

A beautiful video to remember the visit with my son in April 2024. Watch this in person is the best you can do! Incredible show!

And whoever at NASA decided to fly all of the orbiters on the 747's before their delivery over places like Los Angeles, Washington DC, The Golden Gate Bridge, and the Hollywood sign was a GENIUS.

I really liked all two pre shows and it was breathtaking when atlantis was revealed in front of me. I especialy loved the miusic!

I was there yesterday...definitely a highlight of the whole experience!!

A real tear jerker

There should almost be a spoiler alert for watching this, but nothing prepares for the thrill of that second curtain lifting and realizing that the film ends with you seeing the real shuttle. It is a not to be missed experience!

Man. I love this show. Gets me every time, even watching on here! Thanks for sharing!

Just saw this today with the family and it was insane how well done it was. Definitely gonna go back👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

When I saw this in real life, it was totally unexpected and blew my mind....

Made me and my brother cry. Just an amazing experience to behold in person, especially at the end

6:54 This Famous Space Shuttle Atlantis Is Also Started In The 1986 20th Century Fox Children's Live Action Science Fiction Fantasy Family Blockbuster Movie Space Camp The Movie. Thanks Mate. X

I encountered this great moment at the same spot this morning. This movie will remind me of my amazing experience. Thank you for your upload.

I had the chance to visit this place in 2013, it was very very touchy.

An incredible experience! It gives me goosebumps every time.

This is incredibly emotional

Thanks for grabbing this. Incredible in person with the projection. And the sound! Wow!!! Between the 3D Imax and Atlantis exhibit, KSC is a must see.

My Dad and Stepmom took me here a few years ago. Myvpic is me standing in front of the Apollo Rocket. Then to this amazing beauty. One of the best days in my life. I was in absolute awe. I'm glad to see this movie on here and yes I cried at the unveiling of Atlantis.

Just went to the Kennedy Space center this was probably the best moment when I visited. I remember I had my mouth wide open when Atlantis was revealed coolest thing I have ever saw.

I remember when i went to this place, and it was amazing, i got 100% amazed when the space shuttle apeared at minute 11:46

I went yesterday the words just left my body it Was spectacular

She flew well :)

they stopped going transparent with the window and just open the door now. makes me cry every fucking time. i remember the first time, i had no idea they were doing that and i just started sobbing

10:11 Always sends chills down my spine

man i was here and this was one of the most insane shit i have ever experienced, gorgeous, beautiful, truly inhuman wonder of achievement.

Instrumental Music: 1:03 2:27 3:04 3:34 4:04 4:58 6:11 10:11

Seeing this for the first time literally brought tears to my eyes... and every single other time I visited while living in Cape Canaveral. So powerful, everyone with a zest for space must visit Kennedy.

This never gets old 😢

Goosebumps! Goosebumps everywhere!

I’ve seen all three space shuttles that have flown in space first Endeavour in LA Discovery in Washington DC and when I finally had the chance to see Atlantis this whole presentation and everything leading up to the shuttles reveal was amazing a like a final cap to seeing these brilliant vehicles each with its own stories and historical achievements!

Visited NASA last week... Was a great experience... Presentation was more than awesome :)

Great show! It had me in tears when i saw this last summer :)

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to relive this again! I was there in June 2015 and it was one of the best experiences of my life!

I blubber up just seeing the reveal in the video. If I was there in person they'd have to carry me out on a stretcher.

I love the sharp image of the camera, really well filmed

Thoughts while watching the exhibit's historical presentation: So much work to get the STS up and running. Science is amazing.

Goosebumps! I wanna do it again soon! thank you

Love the part where they show the concept art of what could have been

Wspaniały pokaz. Byłem tam w styczniu 2024 roku. Niesamowite wrażenia. Serdecznie polecam każdemu wizytę w KSC!!! Tylko uważajcie na aligatory 😂

Gtt see this in november. So excited.

Just saw this when i was at Kennedy back in September absolutely loved it

this gave me goosebumps :*)

I remeber visiting Kennedy Space Center a couple years ago...saying this as an European, it doesn't matter where you come from, but you'll leave as a proud American :D

Sadly there will never be a space machine other than the greatest and mightiest space shuttle

Thanks for sharing amazing NASA have a good day

12:05, let the tears flow. (Well, they did for me)

I been there on a field trip it's so AWESOME!!!!

this is so awesome, i want to go there someday

Very interesting.

looks amazing so want go here

This was so sweet

awesome

Good stuff, I really like your channel

I seen that show before.

I went there today :)

WOW!

Name of this movie please

Rip to all spqce shuttles Discovery, Atlantis, Endeavor,and columbia

It was refurbishable

Can some explain to me why..WHY hasn't Rush's "Countdown" been incorporated into this attraction???

Loose the music at the end it’s irrelevant and irritating

l am in BSA i got to sleep under that shotol

I used to like this

6:13 looks like a Universal Studio Jurassic ride at first

QWERTY!

It is a Ballon

11:31 Your welcome

The movie was fun but misleading about the actual history. There were a lot more politics involved

People called him "The Messiah" because when they saw at it they said: JESUSCRIST!
