ShuttleFest IV will celebrate the 35th anniversary of the Hubble Space Telescope with a “Hubble Huggers Saturday” of four panel discussions about the amazing launch, servicing and photography as told by those spaceworkers and service mission spacewalkers Joe Tanner and John Grunsfeld!
Sunday will feature panels spearheaded by four-time Shuttle astronaut Don Thomas with NASA legends Bob Sieck and Jay Honeycutt. Another panel features “Bringing Columbia Home” author Jonathan Ward with his two co-writers, the world’s first female space commander, Eileen Collins, and launch director Mike Leinbach. Mike’s book is the definitive story about the tragedy.
The VIP guest list is still fluid, and many of the dozen or so local astronauts are encouraged to just stop by for some interaction with their “heroes,” the American space workers. There will be fellowship time with space workers and enthusiasts of the Space Shuttle Era. Many “extras” are in the planning stages to make this a special annual event.
There will be an “event tent” outside on the hotel property to accommodate a breakfast buffet and a 6-10 pm social gathering that will possibly include astronaut appearances and movies.
World-renowned space artist Chris Calle will be one of a few hand-picked vendors that will include Ken Havekotte Space Memorabilia, an event sponsor.
- Tickets (for sale below) are $90 for the weekend of events.
- * Limited to 125 participants plus “waitlist”.
This is a fundraiser for the museum’s parent non-profit, the U.S. Space Walk of Fame Foundation.
Sponsors door prizes and donations are being sought. Queries can be directed to shuttlefest@americanspacemuseum.org or 321-264-0434.
