Even Disneyland closes attractions from time to time for repair.
We are in good company :)
Hello Space Center Fans!
I have a real treat for you today, something to lift your spirits while the Space Center is closed for renovation. Below is a YouTube video entitled Four Hours, A Space Trip. This 20 minute video is a documentary on the Space Center filmed by Mark T. Lewis; Mark was a BYU film student at the time. This film was his Pièce de résistance while at BYU. Mark entered Four Hours, A Space Trip in several student film festivals around the country. I consider it the best film made on the Space Center.
Four Hours, A Space Trip follows a class of students on their Space Center field trip. The film starts at their elementary school the morning of their adventure. You ride with them on the bus to the Space Center. You watch them pull up in front of Central Elementary. You go into the simulators with them. You watch them do their best to succeed in a mission called The Children of Perikoi. You see them stress over decisions and you share in their joy of success.
Our visiting students, the Space Center staff and our young volunteers are the stars of Four Hours, A Space Trip. You'll even get to see inside the sacred Control Room and watch Yours Truly in action at the microphone.
Now sit back, relax and enjoy the video. Please leave a comment telling us your thoughts.
And now, silence in the house. The lights are dimming; the red velvet curtain is opening, and for Pete's sake, will someone get that crying baby out of the theater!

This video was, in one word, SMASHING. This justifies my almost-obsession with the Space Center. I can hardly wait for spring.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely loved this video. I think it perfectly encapsulated the essence of the space center in 17 minutes. I will also add that the space center completely changed my life for the better. Without the Space Center I would be nowhere near where I am today.
ReplyDeleteYes! This video is a beautiful work of art.
ReplyDeleteThis shows perfectly how the space center changes lives
ReplyDeleteThis is a great video. It shows exactly what the Space Center is about. Makes me miss the magic!
ReplyDeleteI don't get it. Jk Looks great. It's been a long time but that video makes me remember it like it was yesterday.
ReplyDeleteThat. Was. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI will always have a special place in my heart for the space center. After working there for 5 years (2003 - 2008), I grew an appreciation for all the staff and people who supported this place. There is no other place like it. It helped me decide what I wanted to do for a living and help me realize my potential. If you have a dream, you can achieve if you put your mind to it and do all that you can to accomplish it. Thanks Mr. Williamson and thank you space center staff! Continue to bring memories for generations!
ReplyDeleteThis is by far the best video of the Space Center I've ever seen. It's so packed with simple and beautiful nuggets of how the Space Center changes lives. There's a magic at the Space Center that is hard to describe in words, but this video does a great job at catching it in action.
ReplyDeleteFive thumbs up! Two for the video, and the rest for the Space Center. :)
