The Space Coast expects over 100,000 tourists to arrive to watch the launch of Artemis 1.
"We are expecting capacity crowds at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex for the upcoming Artemis launch," said Therrin Protze, the visitor complex's chief operating officer, according to Florida Today. Protze added that KSC will offer"special Artemis launch viewing packages that will include some of the closest public viewing opportunities with distinctive experiences like live commentary from space experts and access to select exhibits and attractions.
A crowd looks on as the massive Artemis I rocket is ferried atop a mobile launch platform en route to Launch Pad 39B from the Vehicle Assembly Building at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida March 17, 2022. It's not just launch watchers who are excited about the upcoming Artemis 1 mission. Mike Bolger, director of KSC's Exploration Ground Systems, told Florida Today that even KSC staff are buzzing with anticipation for the launch."The growing sense of energy and excitement that has been steadily building around Kennedy and among our workforce in the last year is tangible," Bolger said.
KSC Director Janet Petro said that the entire center is counting down to launch day."You can see it in peoples' faces, you can hear it in their voices, and when we all stand together with our eyes to the sky on launch day, I don't think there will be a feeling in the world like it."
