Since Russian Yuri Gagarin became the first human in space in April 1961, fewer than 500 people in the world have experienced the thrill of spaceflight. NASA astronaut Lee Morin → is one of them. On July 19, he'll tell you what it takes to join this exclusive club. Find out how it feels to ride aboard a spacecraft traveling more than 17,500 miles per hour. And hear what it's like to work weightless in the dark abyss of space.

10 a.m. and 2 p.m. -- Presentations by astronaut Lee Morin

Morin completed his first spaceflight as a mission specialist on space shuttle Discovery mission STS-110 in April 2002. He performed two spacewalks and logged more than 259 hours in space. During the mission, Morin and his crewmates visited the International Space Station, delivering and installing the starboard 0 truss segment atop the Destiny laboratory module.

Presentations are expected to fill up fast. Make your reservations today by calling (216) 433-9653.
