At the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida, construction of the 90,000-square-foot "Space Shuttle Atlantis" facility is nearing completion. At the entrance is a full-scale set of space shuttle twin solid rocket boosters and external fuel tank. Guests will be able to walk beneath the 184-foot-tall boosters and tank as they enter the facility.

The new $100 million facility will include interactive exhibits that tell the story of the 30-year Space Shuttle Program and highlight the future of space exploration. The "Space Shuttle Atlantis" exhibit is scheduled to open June 29, 2013.Photo credit: NASA/ Jim Grossmann
