Mission: SPACE

We’re still anxiously awaiting the opening of the new Space 220 restaurant in EPCOT. But yesterday, there was an actual rocket spotted over the park!

On December 13th at 12:30PM, SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, carrying a massive radio satellite into orbit.
