Super Safety & Health Day
Next Wednesday is being devoted to the well-being of the KSC work force in an annual event emphasizing the importance of safety and health in the workplace and in everyday life. The theme of “Safety & Health – Lifeline To Your Future” will permeate the day starting with the keynote address by Charlie Plumb, former Navy fighter pilot and POW; and follow in exhibits and organizational safety and health activities. Plumb’s address will be on the KSC internal NASA TV. For more information, go to the Web site http://abram.ksc.nasa.gov/supersafaty2003/default.htm.

“Mission: SPACE” takes flight
Orlando’s Walt Disney World touts the ride, which “sends” civilians to Mars, as their most technologically advanced attraction ever. To develop the realistic simulation, NASA provided Disney with Agency tours and details on current missions and challenges. The attraction also includes a post-ride game loosely based on Mission Control activities.
