About this audio guide
This guide to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex begins in a darkened theater with a shuttle launch countdown, then the screen falls away to reveal Atlantis suspended overhead at a deliberate, unusual tilt. It moves from that entrance display into the orbiter's real career, from its first flight in October 1985 to the mission that closed out the three-decade space shuttle program in 2011. Take a moment under the tilted wing before moving on.
