Alyssa had expressed a desire to see a Space Shuttle. The Make-A-Wish Foundation had granted her a trip to Disney World in Orlando, but KSC was not one of their offerings. Since she, her Mom, and 3 siblings were going to be there for 5 days, we thought we would try to set up a little side trip for them.
Bill Bertsch contacted Ken Cockrell & Charlie Bolden at NASA. Ken is an active astronaut; MGen. Bolden USMC (ret) piloted the Hubble mission. Charlie became our primary "hook" into NASA; the result was a VIP Gold Pass tour at KSC on Wed., 5 Oct. 2005.
