'Heroes and Legends' NASA attraction to feature Astronaut Hall of Fame [i]A quarter century after its start, the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame is set to be re-launched as a high-tech interactive public attraction intended to inspire a new generation of explorers. NASA officials, exhibit designers and more than 25 Hall of Fame astronauts gathered at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida on Friday (May 29) to announce "Heroes and Legends," a new gallery that will incorporate and feature the hall when it opens in 2016. "Twenty five years ago, in 1990, just six miles west of the gates of the Kennedy Space Center, the doors [to the Hall of Fame] were opened," Therrin Protze, the chief operating officer of the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, said prior to a ceremonial groundbreaking for the attraction. "It seems only appropriate we celebrate the 25th anniversary [by] celebrating the ideals, bravery, fortitude, courage and commitment that it represents."[/i]
