From left, Kelvin Manning, associate director of NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, and Bob Cabana, director of the center, visit the NASA booth on Space Day at the Space Coast Stadium where information on some of the contributions the space agency has made to sports, transportation and everyday life is being distributed to baseball fans attending the stadium’s Space Day. Cabana was on hand to throw the first pitch of a spring training game between Major League Baseball's Washington Nationals and the Houston Astros. A full-scale test version of NASA's new Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle was on display outside the stadium for the occasion to show the public the spacecraft under development that will take astronauts farther into space than ever before.
