NASA's Kennedy Space Centre Hip Flask

The John F. Kennedy Space Centre (KSC, originally known as the NASA Launch Operations Centre), located on Merritt Island, Florida, is one of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) ten field centres. Since December 1968, KSC has been NASA's primary launch centre of human spaceflight. Launch operations for the Apollo, Skylab and Space Shuttle programs were carried out from Kennedy Space Centre Launch Complex 39 and managed by KSC. Located on the east coast of Florida, KSC is adjacent to Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS). The management of the two entities work very closely together, share resources and operate facilities on each other's property.
