The Tropical Evening with the Astronauts dinner was held on Nov. 8, 2008 at the Radisson at the Port, Cape Canaveral, FL, as part of the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation's Astronaut Autograph & Memorabilia Show weekend. The casual dinner provided a platform for guests to mingle and talk with over 25 legendary astronauts who were in attendance. The overall weekend, including this dinner, auction and autograph show, generated close to $200,000 for the scholarship program.
