Space for two more: Veteran NASA astronauts Brian Duffy and Scott Parazynski joined a prestigious group of American space heroes in the United States Astronaut Hall of Fame during a moving ceremony at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. Duffy and Parazynski make up the 15th group of space shuttle astronauts to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Both flew aboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis, which is now located at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex and was the site of the induction ceremony. Adding these veteran astronauts to the Hall of Fame brings the total number of inductees to 93. More than 20 legendary astronauts were on hand to welcome the inductees, including Fred Haise, Al Worden, Charlie Duke, Owen Garriott, Jack Lousma, Vance Brand, Bob Crippen, Karol “Bo” Bobko, Rick Hauck and Dan Brandenstein. As of November 2016, a new U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame opens at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex as part of the new Heroes & Legends attraction.
Heroes & Legends sets the stage for the guest experience by providing the emotional background and context for space exploration and the legendary men and women who pioneered and continue the journey into space. Through engaging storytelling, guests embark on an awe-inspiring experience that begins with an immersive exhibit designed to spark thought and discussion about how society defines a hero. Then, through cutting-edge technology, interactive elements and engaging exhibits, guests will be introduced to the heroes of space.
