The city took its name from the Spanish Cabo Cañaveral, a cape in Brevard County, but it was re-named in honor of President John F. Kennedy, who was assassinated in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963 and had supported the United States space exploration program. The name reverted back on October 9, 1973, but NASA's Kennedy Space Center retained the "Kennedy" name. <!-- RTE::{"spaces":0,"type":"LINE_BREAK"} -->Cape Kennedy also refers to the local Cape Canaveral Air Force Station from where NASA launched its missions into space, including the <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Scorpio%20EX-1%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Scorpio%20EX-1%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BScorpio%20EX-1%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="200544-13754631795f60e345814e2" href="/wiki/Scorpio_EX-1" title="Scorpio EX-1">Scorpio EX-1</a> capsule manned by <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Sol%20Tobias%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Sol%20Tobias%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BSol%20Tobias%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="200544-13754631795f60e345814e2" href="/wiki/Sol_Tobias" title="Sol Tobias">Sol Tobias</a> and the <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22NASA%20Mars%20Probe%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Mars%20Probe%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Afalse%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BMars%20Probe%7CNASA%20Mars%20Probe%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="200544-13754631795f60e345814e2" href="/wiki/Mars_Probe" title="Mars Probe">NASA Mars Probe</a>, which was lost in the South Pacific. </p> <h2 data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">Trivia</h2> <ul><li data-rte-spaces-before="1">The names of the chief scientists on the Mars Probe are <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Professor%20George%20Bancroft%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Professor%20George%20Bancroft%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BProfessor%20George%20Bancroft%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="200544-13754631795f60e345814e2" href="/wiki/Professor_George_Bancroft" title="Professor George Bancroft">Professor George Bancroft</a> and <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Professor%20John%20Corwell%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Professor%20John%20Corwell%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BProfessor%20John%20Corwell%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="200544-13754631795f60e345814e2" href="/wiki/Professor_John_Corwell" title="Professor John Corwell">Professor John Corwell</a>. </li></ul> <h2 data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">Episode(s)</h2> <ul><li data-rte-spaces-before="1"><a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Smile%2C%20You%27re%20on%20Mars%20Camera%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Smile%2C%20You%27re%20on%20Mars%20Camera%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BSmile%2C%20You%27re%20on%20Mars%20Camera%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="200544-13754631795f60e345814e2" href="/wiki/Smile,_You%27re_on_Mars_Camera" title="Smile, You're on Mars Camera">Smile, You're on Mars Camera</a> </li><li data-rte-spaces-before="1"><a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Splashdown%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Splashdown%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BSplashdown%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="200544-13754631795f60e345814e2" href="/wiki/Splashdown" title="Splashdown">Splashdown</a> </li></ul> <hr / data-rte-empty-lines-before="1"> <p /> Loading editor Locations Pages Missing Images Below are some commonly used wiki markup codes.
