Please join the USS Hornet as we celebrate the 55th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing and the Hornet’s role in the recovery of the astronauts when they splashed back down on Earth! Come by to learn about the most important historical achievement of the 20th century and have fun with your whole family.

So far we have the following lined up for this day:

We will be hosting a High School Robotics contest on the flight deck. Come see teams compete with their robots!

In the Hangar Bays we will have several extra space themed exhibits, our friends form the local Star Wars clubs, Hornet crewmen who were on board during the Apollo recoveries and much more. We are bringing together a line up of interesting speakers-stay tuned on that front.

More details to come!
