NASA will join AARP in
their Life at 50+ National Event and Expo as the two organizations each
celebrate a half of century of remarkable achievements.
On Sept. 4, during the opening ceremony of the show at 9:30 a.m. EDT,
NASA will present AARP with a photo montage honoring the organization's 50
years of service to the senior community. The montage will include items
flown earlier this year on space shuttle Discovery.
AARP will present NASA with an oversized AARP membership card to mark
the agency turning 50. The event will be held at the Washington Convention
Center, Washington. Former astronauts Michael Coats, director of NASA's
Johnson Space Center in Houston, and Carl Walz, director of advanced
capabilities in the Exploration Systems Mission Directorate at NASA
Headquarters in Washington, will represent NASA during the event.
In addition to the opening ceremony presentation, NASA will have a
substantial presence at the Expo to showcase some of the Agency's various
innovations and space hardware. Some of the highlighted exhibits include a
"NASA City and Home" Wii interactive display, the Roll-Over Mars Rover and
interactive Constellation Program exhibits.
