UPDATE 4/17/22: The event was a resounding success!
PLAYBACK of each session is available as a series of 7 videos on ASM’s YouTube channel.
—————-
In April 1972, the U.S. Congress approved the Space Transportation System. 50 years later, the American Space Museum has partnered with the Astronaut Memorial Foundation to celebrate the “Golden Anniversary of the Dawn of the Space Shuttle Era” at the beautiful new Hyatt Place Titusville/Kennedy Space Center. The PUBLIC is INVITED to this FREE event which we hope will become an annual “Shuttlefest”.
* ADDRESS and Google MAP Link at page bottom under “VENUE” *
Each session will also be broadcast live on ASM’s YouTube channel. (Later Playback also available.)
This FREE PUBLIC event features short talks, panel discussions, and fellowship with launch directors, vehicle managers, key space workers, and astronauts. The public is welcome to rub shoulders with these “national treasures” of America’s storied Space Shuttle program.
Agenda…

Master of Ceremonies: Hugh Harris, NASA’s Public Affairs Office since 1963, and third PAO director 1992-1998.
9:30-10:15 – Art Edwards on the Space Shuttle Remote Manipulator Arm.
Edwards went from the only African-American in the April 12, 1981 Launch Control Room to become a remote arm lead United Space Alliance safety director.

10:30-11:15 – Jean Wright on the Thermal Protection System & Terry White, Orbital Process Facility manager.
Shuttle thermal blanket “Sew Sister” Jean Wright’s work was always right and it had to be right, or OPF manager Terry White would let her know about it!

11:30-12:30 – Lee Solid on Rockwell Shuttle RS-25 engines & Dean Schaaf on NASA Transoceanic Abort Landing sites.
Lee Solid’s three Space Shuttle Main Engines (SSMEs) always worked, but just in case, NASA Ground Operations Manager, Dean Schaaf, had nets ready to catch the Orbiter in overseas locations like Gambia.

12:30—1:00 – LUNCH BREAK

1:00-1:30 pm – Travis “Triple T” Thompson, Lead Astronaut Close Out Crew.
Travis, whose white room coveralls are in the Smithsonian, shares tales from the White Room (Orbiter Access Room) about pad lightning, John Glenn, Space Cowboys and smuggled Vodka to MIR.

1:45-2:15 pm – Jay Honeycutt, former Kennedy Space Center Director (1995-97) and Space Shuttle director (1989-95).
Jay gives a history lesson on the 1972 U.S. Congress that approved the Space Shuttle program.

2:30-3:30 pm – Astronauts Mike McCulley & Winston Scott.
Yes, they are renowned astronauts. McCulley traded the Space Shuttle pilot seat for the United Space Alliance boardroom. And after some pioneering space walks, Scott walks the halls of academia promoting human diversity in space business.

3:45 pm – Launch Directors Jim Harrington, Bob Sieck, and Mike Leinbach.
They launched 111 of the 135 Space Shuttle missions (82%), defining a career that had no job description–or no equal for pressure and accountability.
Harrington: Old dogs learning new tricks
Sieck: The management side took an unprecedented effort
Leinbach: A family of space workers to the triumphant end

Vendors
Ken Havekotte Space Covers, Sew Sister Creations, Artist Tim Gagnon, Artist Ron Wood, Photographer Ken Kremer, JL Pickering and a John Bisney book signing. More vendors expected.

The event includes a discussion panel whose members include…

Art Edwards: Retired after 50-plus years as a NASA contractor at Kennedy Space Center. He began as an African-American co-op student from University of Miami and became an electrical engineer/avionics lead for Rockwell on the Space Shuttle, specializing in the Remote Manipulator Arm. He retired after years as a quality and safety manager.
Laura Poliah: Current NASA Orion lead and distinguished engineer. She is the daughter of immigrants from Trinidad and Tobago, and is a first-generation college student, graduating from the University of Central Florida in 2010 in aerospace engineering. She has been a distinguished systems engineer on Orion since 2011, and is involved in several leadership development programs, including the professional development chair for the local Society of Women Engineers.
Mike McCulley: NASA astronaut and former President and CEO of United Space Alliance.

We are honored to have them share their unique perspective about diversity in NASA.

The birthplace of America’s Civil Rights Movement
Attend this event, just four miles from ASM’s location in Downtown Titusville, and learn why the Moore Cultural Center is the birthplace of America’s Civil Rights Movement, just as the American Space Museum represents the birth of the Space Age.
Civil rights activists and school teachers Harry and Harriette Moore were murdered by racists on Christmas night 1951 by a bomb that destroyed their home. They are the first and only Black couple killed in America’s 70-year Civil Rights movement.
The Moore Cultural Center Museum in Mims, Florida is the site of this heinous act, where the family home has been recreated around an informative museum and beautiful park, built by Brevard County.
There will also be a special announcement from the great-grandson of the Moores, Darren Pagan.

Presented By…
The MOORE CENTER is part of the Harry T. & Harriette V. Moore Cultural Complex which also includes the Moore MUSEUM and Moore Memorial PARK. Please visit them at

International Observe the Moon Night is a worldwide celebration of lunar science and exploration, celestial observation, and our cultural and personal connections to the Moon. The American Space Museum will be celebrating all day as well as in the evening.
One day each year, everyone on Earth is invited to observe, learn about, and celebrate the Moon together. This event occurs in September or October, when the Moon is around first quarter – a great phase for evening observing. Furthermore, the best lunar observing is typically along the Moon’s terminator (the line between night and day) where shadows are the longest, rather than at full Moon.
Note: 7 – 10 pm Observe the Moon Night is FREE. Earlier daytime events require museum admission. (Adults $10, Sr. & military $8, Kids 13-18 $5, 12 & under free. Thank you for supporting our non-profit museum.)
