The Kennedy Space Center was built to serve as the primary launch center for human spaceflight missions in the United States. Established in 1962 on Merritt Island, Florida, it was strategically located near the equator to take advantage of the Earth’s rotation, enhancing launch efficiency. The facility has been pivotal for NASA's Apollo, Space Shuttle, and Artemis programs, facilitating both crewed and uncrewed missions to space. Its construction marked a significant commitment to advancing space exploration during the Cold War era.
