Last night I watched a re-broadcast of the shuttle launch. (On high
def television —- oh, so very, very cool!) Amidst the excitement and
enthusiasm for the mission came a sobering reminder — while the shuttle
may look very much like an airplane, this is still space travel. With
space travel comes a rich history that is, unfortunately, also filled
with tragedy — the Challenger (1986) and Columbia (2003) disasters — in
our most recent past.
At the Astronaut Hall of Fame
in Titusville, Florida, you’ll have an opportunity to experience the
technical side of space travel, as well as the very personal side of
it. The Hall of Fame is part of the larger Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, and is just an hour drive from Orlando.
