An Evening With NASA Legend Jay Honeycutt

Sept. 10, 2025 at Melbourne's Italian American Club

The American Space Museum will host a series of "NASA Legends Dinner" to offer the public an informal evening with notable leaders of America's space program, and we are honored to announce Jay Honeycutt, former director of Kennedy Space Center, as our inaugural event presenter on Wednesday, Sept. 10 at the Italian American Club of Melbourne.

ASM's "Evening with Jay Honeycutt" will be from 6-9 p.m. with cocktails, dinner and a conversation about NASA's past and present from one of America's key managers of Apollo and Space Shuttle programs.

Cost is $50 for dinner at this ASM fundraiser, and tickets may be purchased at the Italian American Club website. The location is 1471 Cypress Avenue, the Eu Galle district of Melbourne.

Cocktails will be at 6 p.m, with Honeycutt speaking at 6:30 p.m., followed by dinner at 7 p.m. A short documentary on NASA's crewed spaceflights, created by a team led by Honeycutt, will be shown during dinner, followed by Q&A.

Jay Honeycutt came from NASA in Houston, rising through the management ranks as a simulation manager of the Apollo missions and becoming a key manager of the Space Shuttle program. He was director of Kennedy Space Center from 1995-97.

Mr. Honeycutt will share his views on NASA's past, present and future in this informal dinner event arranged as a mini-fundraiser for the American Space Museum.
