For all frustrated astronauts but were too lazy to undergo years of training, the Shuttle Launch Experience is here to make your dreams into reality (well, almost).

Built to simulate a real shuttle launch, the SLE was made into reality from the inputs of 27 current and former astronauts. Although it is just for entertainment purposes, it is guaranteed to be good ride with good effects made to stimulate people's imagination.

The $60 Million attraction which was finally opened last week at the kennedy space center Visitors Complex in central Florida, will take you to your space travel dreams in 30 minutes. Tourists are strapped in and are given a video space lecture about shuttle technology.

Tickets to the Kennedy Space Center costs $40 and no additional charges are given for a ride on the Shuttle Launch Experience.
