Sending Bugs Into Space & Going Into The VAB | At Kennedy Space Center For A NASA Social Media Event

In today's vlog we head to the Space Coast for a NASA Social event for the upcoming SpaceX launch at Kennedy Space Center. We were able to tour some areas that regular guests are normally able to enter.
We had a small presentation about the payload for tomorrow's launch. They're sending some pretty interesting experiments up to the ISS, like, fruit flies to see how their cardiovascular system reacts to lengthy space travel, improving 'galactic GPS' for future missions, & they're also going to study how fire reacts in space. All very cool stuff! Then we heard from some of the people representing these experiments and some lunch from the secret Sonny's BBQ on property. It was a pretty fun and space filled day at KSC! Thank you for watching and we'll see you tomorrow with a new vid!

[@alexswildride7365]

This Kennedy Space Center tour was out of this world!

[@kellykreahlingkelkrea8679]

[@dragonfire3152]

T LOU your just another troll who believes the earth is flat go back to the hole you crawled out of and leave this person and dad alone.

[@samwinston1542]

If the earth was flat, cats would knocked everything off it by now.

[@imkyle5460]

T LOU bro relax I disagree the earth is not flat and if the earth is flat I'd like to see Disney world all the way from Canada I can't cause if the curve of the earth

[@imkyle5460]

SC Punk and bro cool your jets they could just be trying to make us angry

[@daniellehorvath8540]

PLEASE take a college physics course...please.

[@beckiestacy29]

This was such an amazing video! So much interesting information! Thank you and thanks to NASA for letting you do this for all of us!

[@SEJ101]

Their experiment makes me really excited for the future! SPACE FLIES!

[@donhebert5054]

Great video! it's nice to be reminded that there is still tons of science and discovery taking place. Sometimes I forget. Science!

[@stnwrd]

Great video very neat to see inside the hanger. I have seen lots of the outside of it through out the years, but not much detail like you showed today. Thanks again keep up the great work :)

[@jessicalyn84]

I'm loving these KSC videos!! They might be my favorites!

[@philipvignola]

Great video thanks so much for sharing! Loved seeing all of the NASA stuff

[@siouxzq7700]

I have a cousin who was an Astronaut, Fred Haise. He flew on Apollo 13. He is a cousi. several times removed, but we still claim him as our cousin. LOL! My Sister works at Stennis Space Ctr in Mississippi, so they were able to see the last shuttle launch there.

[@siouxzq7700]

*there I do mean Kennedy Space Ctr.

[@Actuallyshea]

As a NASA kid, I loved going into the VAB! I did 'take your kid to work' day when I was about 7 or 8 years old. I got to do the morning announcements for my dad's team. I got to sign my initials into a piece of shuttle tile that I still have. I got to visit the Apollo one site before it was added to the tour at the visitor center. I got to touch the crawler and I've got a few river rocks from the path the crawler took to deliver the shuttle to the pad. I also got to meet the first American woman in space, Sally Ride, and I have her signature. Being a NASA kid was amazing. C:

[@bodguard1988]

Erin Newbeck that's a lot of "I got to's"

[@Actuallyshea]

Bigger Foot haha, it is! I got really lucky that my dad worked for NASA when I was a little girl c:

[@zoobroadventurevlogs299]

Erin Newbeck our boys are so interested in rockets right now. That's a nice story of your past.

[@Actuallyshea]

ZooBro Adventure that's awesome! I love hearing when kids are interested in rockets and space flight.

[@zoobroadventurevlogs299]

We just took them flying in a small aircraft for the first time, needless to say, they love anything around flight or machines. They have been in big ones before, this little plane, just made them love aviation even more.

[@ElizaShakiraMassani]

Awww man! I wanted more! This was so interesting to watch!

[@marksheppard6705]

last week I sent my 50th birthday at Kennedy and even tho I only did the basic tour it still was one of the best days ever

[@redwingprincess]

That was so cool to get to see that. I hope they'll allow you to be there for the launch since I see below it was scrubbed.

[@marcela_j_c]

Take a sip of your drink every time Tim says, "this is amazing". 😆 very cool video!!

[@gavindean]

Great vid Tim I really enjoy the NASA stuff you do.

[@brianligon2727]

This was SO COOL!!! Great job, Tim.

[@mr_chill77]

Lucky you Tim, and glad to see you had such an awesome time!!!

[@jessbarbourbright9368]

Very cool! Thanks for sharing.

[@ncchic0221]

That was supremely cool!! I love NASA.

[@rebeccahogan2633]

Wow!!! Nothing says you've "made it to the big show" like a personal invite to NASA. Congrats on that and thank you for another cool video!

[@deathoffsteve]

So jealous, amazing vlog! Can't wait for the launch vlog.

[@sandybaum9345]

[@heathercopeland8090]

That was so cool!!! Super jealous!! I'm such a space nerd!!

[@robertastrong6636]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing

[@mrtim7890]

This place looks so cool! Seeing the vehicle assembly building really makes me think of the movie Apollo 13. There were some great shots of that building along with the Saturn 5 rocket.

[@CanadianDisneyFans]

Thank you for sharing! Love it!

[@LisaQuan]

So cool! Thanks for taking us along Tim. Wish we could have gotten to tour those buildings when we visited several years ago. Jealous I am.

[@edoandgreeb]

Really interesting! I enjoyed this. Thank you!

[@MRTexas88]

[@MouseEaredWorld]

We are visiting Kennedy Space Center for first time in October and this made us very excited!

[@kitsunemetal]

That was a fun tour Tim im glad you had fun my friend thank you for taking me along and it stinks that the launch was cancelled.

[@richschindler8731]

Very cool. I haven't been to the Kennedy space center, Cape Canaveral, in a long time, nice to see it again. Went to college in Melbourne and used to drive up or watch launches. Early 70's.

[@lucy2791]

Nice video Tim very informative and interesting. Xxxx

[@MsDessertJunkie]

A amazing video and SUPER JELLY of you getting the opportunity to visit !

[@pimmer]

Great video Tim! I always wanted to have a look a these parts of Kennedy Space centre. I hope you are able to watch the rocket launch.

[@RebeccaLRodgers2024]

Very Cool! I went there A Lot as a Kid but never got to see any of that!

[@moonstonepearl21]

This place is cool! Glad you went there :)

[@michaelobrien1740]

I know the building is big from a distance but it looks huge from up close and the inside. Great video as always

[@lithoet]

I have enjoyed your channel and videos, please keep up with the great work and great videos.

[@AdmiralPreparedness]

You lucky DOG!!!! I had to go to work for NASA to get to go where you got to go!! NASA Dryden, Edwards Air Force Base. Telemetry Tracking Facility. (WATR) Western Aeronautical Test Range. Space Shuttle Mission Support Telemetry Engineer. 1995 - 2005 Retired.

[@4everspace]

Tim's shirt. Lol. Tim I love this vlog! Thanks!! P.S. nobody mentioned space dinos😁

[@cromulus6877]

So cool!

[@michaelc4836]

Really cool stuff nice video

[@firemedic2816]

SO COOL Tim

[@jayneeroussie5513]

Tim, your amazing. You always do the most fun things to do in Orlando. I usually go to Orlando once a year because I live in New York, not the city the state. I always find out what to do by your videos and then I see what looks cool to do while I'm down in Orlando.

[@MattTathamis]

This was so cool, Tim. Felt more journalistic than other videos. Maybe soon you will just have your own press box!

[@teedee2944]

Looks great the kids and I will visit this summer 😊

[@number9number9]

OH WOAH! Your tour guide and I were friends in high school! I used to write silly songs and she would draw pictures during our sophomore science class. Imagine my surprise when she crashed this, it's soooo cool!

[@drewbeasley6453]

I did a NASA social at the Stennis Space Center about a year ago. We got to see the RS 25 being manufactured and being set into the test stand. Still have my social badge. Very awesome experience and really cool to see you being apart it too.

[@stefanvanschaick]

Very cool

[@Dragonlove3]

GREAT JOB

[@VickyPProductions]

I love the space centre!

[@commando-swaqqx296]

cant wait to go to that place when im on holiday

[@KiddsockTV]

Wow! Wow Wow!! Incredible! Thank you for taking us!! Who was your Tour Guide?? She's cute and Loves what she does!!

[@meredithann109]

SO MANY LADIES, this makes me so happy!

[@kikidoll7101]

Cool. Tfs

[@whom88]

So disappointing that they scrubbed the launch today. Are they going to allow you to attend the next launch window on Saturday?

[@kimt8162]

Coooollll~!

[@therichterscale8212]

awesome video

[@IVR02]

The blond-haired presenter in the red shirt made my day. Something about her reminded me of my old math teacher, from 7th grade...

[@dangievlogs2699]

Nice vid tim

[@ellismunro2261]

hey tim I love your content

[@aafasfsad6587]

I just saw you earlier at Valcano Bay, at the picture post thing 😂😱

[@Megenz327]

I remeber going to the space center when I was young and there was a restaurant called "orbite" and the spaces where the food was on spun and I thought it was the coolest thing!! 😂 oh how I was young

[@FireCracker3240]

So, that canine officer was the actual literal definition of "The Tim Tracker".

[@Jaygo1d]

Hi timtracker !!!

[@nicke.5036]

Tim said "Hi Bae". 8:16 *blush*

[@brandonfleming7118]

I've only ever been to one NASA social (it was at Marshall Spaceflight Center), it was pretty cool. It was mainly about SLS so I got a bunch of SLS pics and diagrams and what not.

[@bryanwhat2268]

Cooooooooool

[@Savagemister]

@10:51 looked like on Cloud City in The Empire Strikes Back.

[@bigrickmachine]

Woah

[@Edsthemeparks]

Happy Friday

[@LieutLaww]

Tim was the VAB tour you did just for the NASA Social ? As the last time I visited in 2015 they had stopped public tours of the VAB

[@imkyle5460]

That search dog is a tracker HA HA HA get it ... I should stop

[@nacho5905]

omg, Tim, you were with Jstu studios I saw you in there vlog

[@jessicarobinson6281]

Go to volcano bay tomorrow

[@caylapopoff9455]

essentially....this video is great

[@AngelJuliet]

I'm newer to this channel, how lucky they always get to go to these parks. do they buy like a year or season pass?

[@caylapopoff9455]

Angel Juliet , they have annual passes to all of these places. Seaworld, KSC, Disney, Universal, Lego Land and now Volcano Bay. Probably many more we don't even know about... often places invite them to social media events such as this to give them advertising in the vlogging/twitter world and give them a even heavier social media presence..plus its free awesome content for the vlogger.

[@black-turtless7286]

I'm so happy to see a lot of female NASA workers!!!

[@peanutismint]

Every time that lady with the microphone says "pretty cool" I keep thinking of Vanessa Bayer doing Miley Cyrus on SNL.......it's pretty cool. Anyway, amazing video. I'd love to get inside the VAB some day! Do they let guests in on any of the regular daily tours or was it only special access for you social media types??? That's amazing that Columbia is in that building....

[@ethanhershaft7760]

ding dang the lightning cancelled the launch today!

[@tclark1122]

How did you get to do that?

[@daviddebergh254]

I want to do Security either at the Space Center or Lockheed Martin.

[@frankieinnyc657]

Fruit Flies In Spaaaaaaaaaace!

[@djacgators1]

maybe they will launch when I'm in Daytona so I can see it.

[@paco1845]

Hey guys!

[@bellisma1927]

Hi, anybody from Orlando? I'm planning to visit Orlando in October and I want to know whats the cheapest way to get to the Visitor Complex (as a tourist)?

[@kristinmcgary8926]

Not sure if it's everyone or just me, but KZbin updated and now all my bell notifications have to be redone. may want to mention it if others are seeing that issue too.

[@jackpast]

Great video, Tim. How did you get access to that press tour? Is NASA recognizing KZbin vloggers as legit press?

[@Actuallyshea]

My dad works in the LCC c:

[@sk8terjoe98]

Hey, Tim. Did you know that you were in the same tour group as the one fellow from the JSTUstudio KZbin channel?

[@citrushottie123]

Did yall see The Daily Woo got banned from Universal Orlando!? I love you guys and I enjoyed when he was in some of the videos. Bummer.
