2012 U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame Induction Weekend
The Astronaut Scholarship Foundation (ASF) is rolling out the red carpet for space legends during its 2012 U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame (AHOF) Induction Gala, and you're invited! This elegant evening is held during Kennedy Space Center's Induction weekend, and honors the three new AHOF inductees:
The festivities begin May 4, 2012 with the Hall of Fame Induction Gala, benefiting ASF. Held at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex (KSCVC) award-winning Apollo/Saturn V Center, this black tie affair will leave you star-struck as you mix and mingle with over 30 astronauts and space celebrities beneath a beautifully restored Saturn V rocket! You'll join astronauts from Project Mercury through the Space Shuttle program in raising a glass to the 11th group of Space Shuttle astronauts to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
The soirée will continue as you enjoy savory dishes expertly prepared by gourmet chefs while discussing some of the most historic moments in the world with the men and women who made them happen!
The excitement doesn't end there! Your gala ticket also includes entry into KSCVC's official induction ceremony for the Class of 2012 into the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame, the following day, May 5. Taking place in the heart of the Visitor Complex, this momentous occasion will be attended by dozens of astronauts and space icons there to take part in the ceremony.
