FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Space Museum
& Grissom Center
Bonne Terre, MO 63628
The Space Museum is pleased to
announce the grand opening of their new addition, the Grissom Center March 16th,
2019. To help us celebrate this momentous occasion we are reviving a previous
museum event “Show Me Space.” This
year’s agenda is truly cosmic! Our goal
is not only to honor the Grissom family but to also showcase Missouri’s huge aerospace
legacy.
Since the Grissom Center honors
America’s iconic astronaut hero “Gus” Grissom, Lowell his brother and Gus’s
sons Scott and Mark will be in attendance. George Leopold the author of CALCULATED
RISK; THE SUPERSONIC LIFE AND TIMES OF GUS GRISSOM will host a book signing at
the Grissom Center to further honor this American hero.
Astronauts Charles Walker, Linda
Godwin and Richard Richards all of whom are either Missouri natives or have
close ties with Missouri and astronaut Jerry Ross a space flight record holder
will be attending. Rob Kelso a former
Space Shuttle Flight Director will share some little known and hilarious
stories about space flight. If
circumstances permit, astronaut, Janet Kavandi, a Missouri native and the
current Director of the Glenn Research Center will also be in attendance.
Janet Ivey of public televisions’
“Janet’s Planet” and a member of the Board of Governors for the National Space
Society will moderate the open panel discussion between the public and the
dignitaries.
Although astronauts are perhaps gifted
with special talent and initiative they ARE NOT super heroes by accident. They
are people just like you who have had a dream, set a goal and worked very hard
to achieve it. In that respect they are REAL super heroes. Super heroes of pop
culture have had their powers imparted by some accidental or otherworldly means
for which they can take no credit. The astronauts, on the other hand, have
achieved their status through determination and hard work and are therefore far
more worthy to be considered heroes. Attend “Show Me Space” and be inspired so
you too can do super hero things!
If you are interested in spending a
day with SPACE ROYALTY then save the date.

We continue to dream; SEE YOU THERE! See flyer below.
