Astronaut Event

"The Challenger Center mission is right on target when it comes to inspiring our young people to reach for the stars in math and science."

"Challenger was without a doubt the best science experience for the students."

Victoria Day

"My preschool class attended a field trip to your Center. I would like to thank you for such a great experience. My students had a wonderful time and 'Ms. Barb' had a great presentation that was geared for the younger student. Your facility is one of the few that offers educational opportunities for the very young. Thank you for your foresight!"

Jean Schubert

"I just wanted to take a minute and say how pleased I was with how the mission went. Thanks to the crew at Mission Control, and to the Challenger for an educational experience closely related to our state standards and district curriculum."
