About the Center for Space Education
The Center for Space Education (CSE) Is The "living memorial" Of the astronauts memorial foundation.
The CSE exists to accomplish the following:
To foster an understanding of space exploration among young people, teachers, and Kennedy Space Center visitors.
To inspire the next generation of space scientists, space workers, and astronauts.
The building was dedicated in 1994. The design and construction of the building was funded through the voluntary contributions of hundreds of thousands of Florida citizens who purchased Challenger license plates. Today, Floridians can still order the Challenger-Columbia memorial license tag, in contribution to the Foundation.
