NASA Kennedy Space Center's Spaceperson signals all systems are go for Space Day at the Space Coast Stadium.

NASA Kennedy Space Center’s “Spaceperson” signals that “all systems are go” for Space Day at the Space Coast Stadium. Bob Cabana, director of Kennedy, is on hand to throw the first pitch of a spring training game between Major League Baseball's Washington Nationals and the Houston Astros. Kennedy also set up a booth at the stadium for the occasion to highlight some of the contributions the space agency has made to sports, transportation and everyday life. A full-scale test version of NASA's new Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle was on display outside the stadium to show the public the spacecraft under development that will take astronauts farther into space than ever before.
