A Murder at the Space Center: Committed, Investigated, and Solved in One Evening. An Early Photo of the Voyager's Bridge Found. Imaginarium Theater.


People Who Entertain for a Living Need to be Entertained.  Thank You Tyler Weight 

     Last week a brutal murder was committed at the Christa McAuliffe Space Center. Found dead was the fragile sweetheart of the forest, Snow White.  Her body was discovered outside the Magellan's transporter exit.  


A photo of Snow White taken minutes before the heinous crime. She was enjoying herself 
with "friends" when her life was cut short - and no prince's kiss could save her.

     The question to be solved, who was the culprit?  Those present when the dastardly deed was committed were people you know from your childhood; people you grew up with, some you even admire to this day.  Let me introduce the suspects :










Jon "Big Teeth" the Wolve












     Throughout the night your fabled heroes mingled and mixed whilst enjoying a lavish banquet to celebrate the pending arrival of spring. It was for many a last supper of innocents for after the meal there was one dead among them and one or more quilty.


     The clues to unwrapping the mystery and identifying the quilty were held by all. The trick was to acquire the clues by bartering, purchasing and even most strongly coercing the facts from some willing to exonerate themselves, and others whose sideways glances and sweaty foreheads foretold involvement. 






     Just before the midnight hour the murderer was unmasked.
   Today, I present to you the face of evil itself; for only one so possessed of such darkness could conceive and carry out a most foul crime against an unblemished soul.  The murderer was...... Herb, a tormented, deformed dwarf - shunned from his fellow dwarfs because of his towering height.  He was, by all accounts, a lonely creature - pitied by those of a forgiving nature. However, that pity did not save him, for Snow White's blood called from the moss blanketed forest floor for vengeance and justice was done. The dwarf somehow found his way to and unguarded exterior airlock with a faulty flushing mechanism.  I fear the worst......      


     Sadly I was unable to attend, a school teacher at the scene of a murder would not be proper.  I want to thank Audrey Henricksen for the photos and of course, we all thank Tyler Weight for creating and sponsoring the event. 
     Now, Mr. Porter, and the rest of the Space Center staff have some explaining to do when the Disney executives come looking for their lost starlet.

An Early Photo from the Voyager's Bridge Found
 


     The Space Center was open for 16 months when this picture was taken on the bridge of the Starship Voyager in March of 1992.  The Voyager was the only ship at the Space Center at that time.  The Odyssey was in the "planning" stage.  Everything that makes a Space Center mission today was in its infancy back then. This was even before we had uniforms. 
     Above you see one of Central's 4th grade classes on their Space Center in school field trip. The captain is seated in his command chair with his trusty first officer beside him. They sat on a raised platform at the back of the bridge overlooking the two lower sections and the main viewer.  
     I found this photo while I was posting pictures to my other Facebook page: Central School Memories.  For the last two years or so I've been posted the pages from Central Elementary School's history albums. The albums stretch back to the 1930s.
