Disambiguation notice

Originally published as This Is Cape Canaveral and then republished as This Is Cape Kennedy to reflect the name change. FL residents changed Cape Kennedy back to Cape Canaveral in 1974, but the space center retains its name of Kennedy Space Center. When the title was reissued in 2009, the publishers decided to call it This Is the Way to the Moon to avoid confusion.
