Heroes & Legends featuring the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame® Presented by Boeing at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex
Through the Eyes of a Hero is a custom-built theater featuring a multisensory 4-D experience during which guests vicariously join NASA’s heroes and legends on the most perilous stages of their missions.
Heroes & Legends opening ceremony was attended by Gemini and Apollo space program astronauts Buzz Aldrin, James Lovell and Thomas Stafford. The children of the deceased astronauts Alan Shepard and Neil Armstrong also attended. NASA, The Boeing Company and Delaware North staff were present. Celebrating heroism is the focus of the multi-media submersive exhibit.
“The opening of Heroes & Legends today marks a true milestone for Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex,” said Therrin Protze, chief operating officer. “And it is such an honor to have so many astronaut heroes here with us to share in the celebration. We are so grateful that they can personally experience this living tribute to their sacrifices, determination and achievements.”
“Heroes & Legends offers the opportunity to learn about the amazing attributes of our heroes behind the transformative and historical events that have shaped the way we look at space, the world and the future. It will not only entertain and inspire guests, but lay the groundwork for their interactions throughout the other amazing attractions to create memorable space experiences,” Protze said.
