Astronaut Nicole Passonno Stott Book Signing at American Space Museum - Nov 18, 2023
2023-11-18 13:00 - 15:00 (America/New_York) | American Space Museum, 308 Pine Street, Titusville, FL, 32796, United States
We welcome International Space Station astronaut and professed “earthling” Nicole Passonno Stott for a book signing on Saturday, Nov. 18 from 1-3pm at our Titusville, FL museum.
She will sign her new book “Back to Earth: What Life in Space Taught Me About Our Home Planet—And Our Mission to Protect It.” The October 2021 book reads like a seven-chapter lesson plan to save and care for our “spaceship” Earth.
The book is available for purchase at the museum for $30.
COST, Map & Contact At Page Bottom
Nicole’s experiences include 104 days in space as a NASA astronaut on the International Space Station Expeditions 20/21 and the STS-133 final mission of Orbiter Discovery in 2010. Important to her unique perspective of planet Earth are the 18 days underwater she spent as an aquanaut on NEEMO 9 mission.
Stott is on a crusade to create an awareness that all “earthlings” share this precious planet. By acting like crewmates on spaceship Earth, we need to work together to respect our planet with disregard to any borders except one–the thin blue line that cocoons all life.
Join Nicole at ASM as she shares her passion for “art, space & healing” and the ecological cause she champions. She is a co-founder of the Space for Art Foundation – uniting a planetary community of children through the awe and wonder of space exploration and the healing power of art.
NOT a General Autograph Event

Please note that this is a book signing, not a general autograph event. We ask that you NOT bring items for her to sign other than her book. In fairness to everyone, please do not ask for exceptions. Thanks for your understanding.

321 Day 2024 - Honoring Ozzie Osband N4SCY as "Father of 3-2-1 Area Code"
2024-03-21 15:00 - 21:00 | Titusville Welcome Center, 419 South Hopkins Avenue, Titusville, Florida, 32796
The late Robert “Ozzie” Osband, self-proclaimed “Rocket Hobo” and “Father of the 3-2-1 Area Code” will be honored at a celebration in Downtown Titusville, Florida on March 21, 2024. The event begins at Space View Park and ends with a block party at the Titusville Welcome Center.
Co-Organized by the American Space Museum and the National Space Society, the celebration of Ozzie’s life and impact as an influencer in many organizations is “go for launch.” With support from the Titusville Area Chamber of Commerce, we hope to create an annual “3-2-1 Day” that will honor the space community as well as kick off the Spring Equinox and tourism in the region.
Agenda
3:21pm Gathering: The celebration of Ozzie’s life will begin with an informal gathering of friends at 3:21pm at Space View Park, where Ozzie’s lawn chair and famous green polo shirt will be placed for final respects. (The park is where he sold his ”Rocket Hobo” patches and touched thousands of people with launch updates, countdowns, and the occasional, “SCRUB!”)
4:00pm Live Broadcast: At 4pm, a special episode of the “Stay Curious” video podcast honoring Ozzie will be broadcast live on YouTube from Space View Park. Docents from the Museums of Brevard will have the remaining “Rocket Hobo” cloth patches available for donations made payable to the “American Space Museum“.
Move To Block Party at Welcome Center: Once mourners have paid their respects at the Park, they are invited to follow museum docents to the Titusville Welcome Center, where at 5pm Mayor Dan Diesel will read a proclamation in honor of Titusville’s most iconic character and inaugurate the best block party in the galaxy, Florida’s Space Coast homegrown holiday 3-2-1 Day “Tomorrow launches here!”
There will be food trucks and adult beverages for sale as well as exhibitors representing many of the causes for which Ozzie volunteered. There will be a performance by Interstellar Groove Machine, a local Space Coast band composed of aerospace employees.
How Ozzie brought the 3-2-1 Area Code to Brevard County
In 1998, Orlando was overloading the Space Coast “407” telephone area code. Ozzie researched that “321” was available, and thought it appropriate for the area where rocket launches end in 3-2-1. Other areas wanted it but Ozzie single-handedly campaigned a year through the proper government hurdles to install “321” on the Space Coast and leave “407” with Orlando. On Nov. 1, 1999, Florida Gov. Jeb Bush placed the first official “321” phone call from Tallahassee to Kennedy Space Center, with Ozzie sitting beside the deputy director receiving the call.
Testimonials
“We are excited to honor our wonderful friend Ozzie in this celebration,” said Karan Conklin, ASM executive director. “We are happy the National Space Society has helped our museum create a community event to honor Ozzie’s legacy on our Space Coast.”
“People like Robert Osband carry the torch for the Space Age in the community and help inspire all generations to explore outer space,” said Gabriel Rothblatt, a Director of the National Space Society and Space Coast resident. “This is a special celebration for an extraordinary man, and we welcome the community to join us.”
More About Ozzie
Ozzie Osband died Aug. 6, 2023 of natural causes at age 72. He was born in New York, and lived much of his life in the Titusville area. He had his own computer software company and was well known in the Amateur “ham” Radio community with call N4SCY. A 20-year volunteer for the museum, he was webmaster for the 20-plus Museums of Brevard and active in the Democratic Party. As an Army veteran, Ozzie was interred at the Cape Canaveral National Cemetery in Mims, Florida.

Thanks to those who made the event a success. See you next year!

The American Space Museum will host ShuttleFest III, our third annual celebration of the Space Shuttle Era on Saturday, April 13, 2024 8am – 4pm at Hyatt Place Titusville/Kennedy Space Center. The PUBLIC is INVITED to this annual event.
With the theme, “More than Just Astronomy Missions,” the event will feature space workers (and possibly astronauts) who participated in the STS-35 & 67 Astro 1 & 2, the STS-41 Ulysses (Sun orbit) and the STS-34 Galileo (Jupiter orbit) missions. These astronomy missions had some drama involved… Ulysses and Galileo had controversial radioactive power sources and were to be launched from the Shuttle payload bay by a liquid fueled Centaur rocket. The Astro 1 mission was almost terminated in orbit because of a communications problem with the telescopes that was solved in a unique way.
In the works is a possible book signing opportunity, and select vendors, including the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation and Ken Havekotte Memorabilia. The ShuttleFest “shield” artwork is provided by Tim Gagnon.
ShuttleFest III will include panel discussions such as “Art in Space” headed by world-renowned artist Chris Calle. A “Look to the Future” panel will end the event with key members of private companies and NASA.
Cost: Donations Accepted
We are not charging admission but would suggest a donation of $20 (or $10 for museum members). Besides being a fundraiser, we need to cover our costs. More about Membership

321 Day 2025 - Celebrating Brevard's "Birthday" & Honoring Ozzie Osband "Father of 3-2-1 Area Code"

Join us as we honor the moments, people, and stories that made us who we are. Expect food, music, history, and, of course, a countdown to our shared legacy. Why March 21?: “3/21”.

What defines our county’s birth?
If there’s one force that truly put Brevard on the map, it was the birth of the space program, a movement that transformed this region into the launchpad of human exploration. The space program’s origins stretch across decades, shaped by visionaries, engineers, and dreamers. So what defines our county’s birth? What moment unites our past, present, and future? For that, we look to 321, a simple area code—yet so much more. Thanks to Ozzie, the 321 count down became the signature of Florida’s Space Coast, forever linking our community to space exploration. It’s the one thread that ties us all together, from the beaches of Titusville to the launchpads of Kennedy Space Center, from the historic charm of Cocoa Village to the thriving industries and growing communities of Palm Bay.
How Ozzie brought the 3-2-1 Area Code to Brevard County
In 1998, Orlando was overloading the Space Coast “407” telephone area code. Ozzie researched that “321” was available, and thought it appropriate for the area where rocket launches end in 3-2-1. Other areas wanted it but Ozzie single-handedly campaigned a year through the proper government hurdles to install “321” on the Space Coast and leave “407” with Orlando. On Nov. 1, 1999, Florida Gov. Jeb Bush placed the first official “321” phone call from Tallahassee to Kennedy Space Center, with Ozzie sitting beside the deputy director receiving the call.
* More About Ozzie
Ozzie Osband died Aug. 6, 2023 of natural causes at age 72. He was born in New York, and lived much of his life in the Titusville area. He had his own computer software company and was well known in the Amateur “ham” Radio community with call N4SCY. A 20-year volunteer for the museum, he was webmaster for the 20-plus Museums of Brevard and active in the Democratic Party. As an Army veteran, Ozzie was interred at the Cape Canaveral National Cemetery in Mims, Florida.
About the American Space Museum
The non-profit U.S. Space Walk of Fame Foundation works to preserve the history of the U.S. Space program through our American Space Museum exhibits and educational programs, a daily video podcast “Stay Curious” as well as the Space View Park Monuments dedicated to the space programs workers and astronauts. While honoring and recognizing all of America’s space programs and their workers, the foundation agrees with astronaut Alan Shepard, when on May 13, 1996, he said, “We need to remember the people who made it possible; so little is said of them.” The intent of the American Space Museum and US Space Walk of Fame is to honor and place emphasis on American space workers and others who made the space programs possible.
