  John F. Kennedy Space Center - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The John F. Kennedy Space Center (KSC) is the NASA space vehicle launch facility (spaceport) at Cape Canaveral on Merritt Island in Florida, United States.
It was renamed the John F. Kennedy Space Center in November 1963, after the recently assassinated president John F. Kennedy.
The Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, operated by Delaware North Companies at no taxpayer expense, is home to a number of museums, two IMAX theatres, and various bus tours allowing visitors a closer look at various restricted areas that would otherwise not be possible.

 Boston.com / News / Education / Higher education / Academic center for Kennedy eyed at UMass-Boston
The center, which would be built on a 4-acre parcel of university land that faces the John F. Kennedy Library and Museum at Columbia Point, would feature a new academic program based on the senator's collection of papers that he has accumulated over four decades in the US Senate, advisers to Kennedy said.
Kennedy's partnership with the university to build a center will also give the Boston campus a major boost in stature and visibility as it struggles to establish its presence in the greater Boston academic community.
One major concern that haunts Kennedy and his aides is that his efforts to create the center will be interpreted that he is ready to retire from the Senate, where he has served since 1963, according to those involved in the negotiations.
