The Cape Kennedy would be tough to see in it's entirety in a single day depending on how many tours/attractions you want to see.
The visitor center has been recently "upgraded" to include a new shuttle ride simulator...there are also "astronaut" camps and such in the area. I think it is called the "Astronaut hall of fame"
Hit their website hard and identify the stuff you want to see in advance...it will definately help you plan your time there.
Depending on how participative you want to be, you could easily spend a couple of days there. If you are targeting a launch date make sure you have a ticket well in advance...
Speaking of other "space/astronomy related" things to see...I understand that Houston also has some astro tours...
The Air and Space Musuem is a gem...
Also many of the bigger towns will have planetariums/museums galore...for instance the Adler Planetarium in Chicago is a glorious thing to see.
There are many many places to see and too many to see in a single trip.
Good Luck!
