As a hub for space tourism and the birthplace of the Apollo space program—which ultimately sent American astronauts to the moon—the Center launched Space Camp in 1982 to inspire explorers with a rigorous program based on real-life NASA astronaut training. It’s about as close as you can get to being an astronaut without actually leaving the planet.
