Nichols The new Space Center Houston exhibit will feature the mock-up shuttle Independence sitting atop the Boeing 747, in the “ ferry position.” Both exhibit director Paul Spana and educational director Dr. Melanie Johnson agree that the Houston exhibit offers a unique opportunity. Visitors here will have a far more tangible, hands-on educational experience than those who visit sites housing the formerly active shuttles. They can explore the insides of the 747 and the shuttle itself and see what it would be like to pilot the shuttle, crammed into the pilot’s deck. Interactivity and the higher level of engagement make it far more likely that young visitors will take away something from the experience, perhaps inspiring a future astronaut who will set foot on Mars.1 HOUSTON HISTORY Vol. 12 • No.2 23 hirty-one years after NASA launched the first space envisioned as a practical tool to transport people, goods, Tshuttle into Earth’s orbit, a shuttle carrier aircraft car- science experiments, and equipment between Earth and rying the space shuttle Endeavour flew over Houston.
