Astronaut Hall of fame at KSC

12april1981

In 2001 I made my first journey to America and to Florida.I went on my own for 6 weeks and during my stay I witnessed My first Shuttle launch sts 108 and my first Hall of fame Ceremony.That was one amazing weekend to be sitting eating and drinking with all your heroes.Ive been back a few times since brought along my fiancee,who is now my wife so Id like to share with you some Pics of this very special night who knows some of you might decide to join us for 2012 ! The tickes last year were 150 dollars and the monies raised goes to Scholarships includes fab dinner and drinks and a chance to meet and chat with Nasa"s finest men and woman !
