NASA CELEBRATES SPACE DAY WITH THE SPACE COAST STADIUM

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- NASA joins the Space Coast Stadium in Viera, 
Fla., to celebrate Space Day on Thursday, March 8.

Major League Baseball's Washington Nationals spring training game with 
the Houston Astros will start off with a blast as NASA Kennedy Space 
Center Director Bob Cabana throws the first pitch.

Kennedy will have a booth at the stadium where representatives will 
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 also will be located outside the stadium to show the public 
the spacecraft that will take astronauts farther into space than ever 
before.
