So if this is your first time even knowing that exhibit existed, you\u2019re not alone. It took me a few visits before a friend guided me in that direction. Gateway\u2019s flashy presence will draw plenty to see these historic spacecraft.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mock-ups-everywhere-including-a-future-spaceplane\">Mock-ups everywhere, including a future spaceplane<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To fill the space, you will find mock-ups of the rest of the modern hardware used in today\u2019s commercial space industry, from a simulator of Boeing\u2019s Starliner to the Atlas V and Delta IV Heavy rockets from ULA. However, the crown of the mock-ups is a full-size Dream Chaser hanging right next to SpaceX\u2019s B1023.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sierra Space\u2019s Dream Chaser is a modern spaceplane and will be used to transport cargo to and from the International Space Station. Launching on top of ULA\u2019s upcoming Vulcan rocket, once Dream Chaser\u2019s mission is complete, it will return to land like an airplane \u2013 bringing back memories of the Space Shuttle launching and landing from Kennedy Space Center.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside all these amazing mementos of the modern space program, those visiting Gateway will be surrounded by interactive, educational, and entertaining experiences while inside, all with the theme of being at a futuristic spaceport.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gateway is included with admission to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, like the other exhibits it has on display. It will be hard to miss, right front and center when you walk into the park.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>inside Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex\u2019s newest attraction, Gateway.
