Florida’s Space Coast landmarks will shine alongside Hollywood stars Scarlett Johansson, Channing Tatum, and Woody Harrelson in the highly anticipated summer movie, “Fly Me to the Moon”, premiering internationally this Friday, July 12.
This stylish romantic comedy-drama, set during NASA’s historic Apollo 11 moon landing, showcases some of NASA’s Kennedy Space Center's most iconic locations:
???? The Rocket Garden – where NASA’s Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs are represented in this garden of giants.
?? ?? Saturn V Rocket – filmed for the movie, the Saturn V rocket on display at the Apollo/Saturn V Center is one of only three remaining Saturn V rockets in the United States. At 363 feet, it is 60 feet taller than the Statue of Liberty.
? ?? Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) – the historic building, with enough volume to house three Empire State Buildings, features heavily in the movie. Completed in 1966 for the assembly of the Apollo/Saturn V moon rocket, The VAB, remains a central element of NASA’s plans to launch people and equipment deep into space on missions of exploration.
?? Astrovan – The vehicle that transported astronauts from crew quarters to the launch pad was also utilized for filming with the stars sitting inside it for certain scenes.
