Buzz Aldrin and John Travolta Set to Host ShareSpace Foundation's Launch Gala

They've flown together, celebrated together and now Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin and celebrity and aviator John Travolta will be launching Aldrin's nonprofit together — ShareSpace Foundation — while honoring the Apollo 11 mission!

The black-tie affair, set for July 18, 2015 at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex's Apollo Saturn V Center in Florida, will be filled with celebration, fun and reminiscing as the duo recounts the Apollo 11 mission from two different views.

The gala will benefit children through the nonprofit ShareSpace Foundation which encourages young ones to develop a lifelong, life-changing love for, and potentially a career in science, technology, engineering, arts and math.

I was in Lexington, Kentucky. My girlfriend and I were doing summer theater as apprentices — we were 15 years old — and I remember the TV was on in the motel room," Travolta recounted in a video he recorded for last year's 45th anniversary of the moon landing. "I remember feeling a remarkable change, not just in history, but in aerospace and aviation."

"I've often wondered why it is, to this day, that people feel compelled to tell me where they were the moment when we first landed on the moon. Of course, I pause, and with a twinkle in my eye, I pull out my little black book and thank them, often adding, 'Well, I'm trying to keep track of where everyone was!'"

Does anybody, including Buzz, really care who or what Travolta was doing or thinking 46 years ago?

"Raised by an artist and math teacher, Seth knows firsthand the importance of STEAM and SSF's mission."

Anchored on Aldrin's Apollo 11 mission anniversary, the black tie affair will both celebrate the first moon landing and kick-off SSF's initiative igniting the spark in children for science, technology, engineering, math AND arts, so that young people may develop a lifelong, life-changing love for, and potentially a career in these fields.
