We are happy to announce that one of the last two men to walk on the Moon will be joining us for our Apollo 11 55th anniversary! Harrison Schmitt one of the two Moon walkers during Apollo 17, the last mission to the manned mission to the Moon. He was the only non-military astronaut to walk on the moon (Harrison was a Geologist).
Like most of America, the USS Hornet Museum was closed for a long period of time during the covid lockdown. We are still in the process of updating and enhancing our science and technology programs such as youth STEM education and community outreach etc.
To raise funds, we are having an informal “Meet and Greet” Moonwalker luncheon in our Officer’s Wardroom at 11:30am on July 20. It will be limited to a small number of special guests who be able to chat with Apollo 17 astronaut and moonwalker Harrison Schmitt. in addition to lunch we will also be giving away space program emorabilia to everyone who signs up.
We are requesting a minimum donation of $500 per person for this exclusive opportunity to meet a person who walked on the Moon. If you are interested, please follow the link here to purchase a ticket.
