Special Event

This year, Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex invites guests to take commemorative selfies with the 2020 U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame^® Inductees during a special “selfie session” event. Inside the Dine With An Astronaut location, the three inductees, veteran astronauts Michael E. Lopez-Alegria, Pamela A. Melroy, and Scott Kelly, will be poised on stage. Guests are invited to stand in a designated area below and in front of the stage for a safe, socially-distant photo opportunity with these stars. 

In order to minimize contact, no autographs will be given by the astronauts. Masks are also required as it is indoors, so bring your favorite space-themed face covering! No matter what, the photos taken are sure to be a fun keepsake for years to come! 

While at the visitor complex, be sure to visit the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame located inside Heroes & Legends. There, you will learn about all of the astronauts who belong to this prestigious group through interactive kiosks.

The Astronaut Scholarship Foundation (ASF) participated in creating a venue where space travelers could be remembered – the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame. Today, the foundation serves as a consultant for the Hall of Fame, which includes conducting the selection process of astronauts for enshrinement by an outside committee.
