US Spaceflight tour operators?

[michaelmorris]

I'm thinking about going on a trip to the US to visit the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida and possibly other space-related sites whilst I'm over there.  With the state of my finances, this would probably be a once-in-a-lifetime trip.   Given that I would travelling alone, it would be nice to share the experience other like-minded spaceflight nuts!  Does anyone know of any tour operators who organise such trips for spaceflight enthusiasts?

Thanks

Just saw your post today. 

There is a really nice tour at the Kennedy space center. If you search online you'll find times, costs and even chances to have lunch or dinner with an astronaut. 

Been YEARS since I took my daughters there, but we were able to stand on the site for the mercury launches and many other sites.

Mike,

          If you get the chance, I highly recommend a visit to the US air force museum at Dayton Ohio. They have examples of all the original  X planes  and a Gemini capsule. It takes nearly a day to get round the whole place.

 

Cheers,
