On the watch this weekend — MAX POWER at Kennedy

NASA has turned Kennedy Space Center into a three-park aerospace festival for America’s 250th — and the hardware is the story. This weekend the standing watch is on the Cape:

UP.Summit (9 AM – 4 PM, Sat & Sun) — the tech expo on the old shuttle strip: a flown Falcon 9 booster, the upper stage of a New Glenn, NASA’s X-59 quiet supersonic jet, and the eVTOLs, drones and robots of the next era, standing where the shuttles used to land.

Salute to America in Space air show (flying 1 – 4:30 PM, both days) — the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds headline over the Launch and Landing Facility, with the NASA Freedom 250 team, a Super Hornet demo and a C-17. Saturday’s air-show tickets are sold out; Sunday seating was nearly gone at last check.

Astronaut parades (afternoons, Visitor Complex) — Saturday: the Artemis III crew — Bresnik, Parmitano, Rubio. Sunday: Crew-12’s Meir and Hathaway. The road back to the Moon, walking past in person.

Three parks, three separate tickets. UP.Summit’s own tickets ($50) were still on sale Friday evening — the air show is the scarce one; don’t confuse them. Full schedule, tickets and the official word: nasa.gov/maxpower.

And mark the date the Cape just gave itself: Capeweek, March 27 – April 2, 2028 — a new annual aerospace expo on this same strip. Announced this week. The spaceport is becoming a destination, and Mission Watch will be standing here when it opens.
