The Space Shuttle Endeavor is one of the most advanced space exploration vehicles ever built, and to see it launch into orbit is an experience unlike any other. Its next scheduled launch is June 13, 2009, and those hoping to witness this historic event can enjoy front row seats at the Four Points by Sheraton Cocoa Beach. Conveniently located just an hour from the Kennedy Space Center, it's the perfect spot from which to cheer on Endeavor as it embarks on a mission to the International Space Station. When it finally disappears into the sky, you'll be able to hit the beach for a day of surfing, swimming, and fun in the sun, followed by an evening of food, drinks, and music at the hotel's Shark Pit Lounge. Even if you can't make it to the launch, the Four Points by Sheraton Cocoa Beach is still your best bet for exploring the space center, thanks to the Sweet, Simple Space Travel offer. Rates start at $155 and include one night's accommodations, two passes to the Kennedy Space Center, and free scheduled transportation to and from the space center. The combination of space exploration and one of Florida's best beaches make this an exciting proposition for summertime fun. Click here to book your stay and start your countdown to the action.
