Forty astronauts gathered on the Space Coast to induct three new heroes, Charlie Bolden, Hank Hartsfield, and Brewster Shaw, into the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame on May 6, 2006. The Foundation held its annual Gala the Friday preceding the ceremony, raising enough funds to cover one whole year of scholarship giving!
