Astronaut beach house In 1963, NASA bought part of a small neighborhood near its expanding Kennedy Space Center in Florida. It got several homes, a gas station and grocery store, all of which it proceeded to promptly tear down. However, the agency decided to spare one modest two-story bungalow built of concrete blocks and wood.
This bungalow became the last place where many crews got to spend time with their families before launch.
The historical building has always been simply the "beach house" to generations of astronauts. For years it's been their quiet, unassuming preflight retreat with the nearest neighbours being launch complexes.
