Space Cottage Grand Re-Opening

GE

When a NASA Astronaut, Storm Troopers and R2D2 show up for a Grand Re-Opening of the Space Cottage in the Sunshine Foundation Dream Village, kids will appear. It was a wonderful turn out for this spectacular event. Jon McBride who became an astronaut in 1979 and was the lead pilot on the maiden voyage of Columbia, spoke to the crowd about his experiences. Dylan was amazed to hear that he traveled around the earth in 90 minutes and at top speed goes 5 miles per heart beat. Dylan just smiled and said, “that is a bit faster than what I go”.

The first kid to stay in the new Space Cottage will be Dylan (pictured in far top left picture with Dylan Martin). They both got a laugh when they were introduced to each other as Dylan meet Dylan. The other Dylan flew in late last night with his mother from Las Vegas to spend the weekend visiting the Disney Parks. He is very excited about sleeping in the bed that is shaped like the Columbia that Astronaut McBride flew. Go to www.DylanMartinRacing.com for more pictures.
