Dressing for space

Just a few kilometres south of Kennedy Space Centre on the Courtenay Parkway (very busy on launch days), stands a building flanked by two palm trees. Its Space Shirts board catches the eye. Since 1984, this shop has been selling clothing, mainly T-shirts and polo shirts, on the space theme (see Enjoy Space video above).

Shuttle missions, mars exploration, Constellation, Hubble and other programmes... As well as using NASA's illustrations, Space Shirts also come up with their own truly superb designs that are original and unique. Space Shirts' designers weave their passion and enthusiasm for space into everyday clothing, with a manufacturing and print shop at the back of the boutique. One of the walls features signed shuttle crew photos!
