A hire car is essential. There is no public transport to Kennedy and once on site lectures may be in buildings many miles apart. The road system is easy to use and petrol is relatively inexpensive. Orlando International Airport is just an hour away from Kennedy, and flights cost about 200 to 300. Alternatively, Miami is approximately 250 miles south of the space centre and offers a good alternative if sightseeing is intended.
Accommodation is the other main expense.
The journey in to the Kennedy Space Center is approximately 30 minutes. A housing list is provided on acceptance to the programme. Living expenses represent a considerable expenditure. At weekends there is plenty of time to visit the tourist attractions that Florida is famous for. Disneyland, Seaworld, Universal Studies, Busch Gardens, and Daytona International Speedway are all reasonably close to Orlando.
